2194, NSW 2208, NSW

Postcode 2194 and postcode 2208 are neighbouring areas with very different housing and social profiles. Postcode 2194 is a high-density hub where 67.1% of homes are flats or apartments and 52.8% of households rent. It is also more culturally diverse, with 64.0% of people born overseas and 71.3% using another language at home. In contrast, postcode 2208 is dominated by separate houses (82.0%) and larger homes, with a higher share of people owning their place outright (40.9%) and more households earning $3,000 or more per week (27.6%).

Both areas share a similarly well-educated workforce, with about 26% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. They also offer equal access to local parks, schools and public transport routes. While they have much in common in these areas, other gaps are shifting; the difference in the number of people working from home has widened since 2011, as has the gap in home ownership and the share of larger three-bedroom homes.
