2197, NSW 2199, NSW

Postcode 2197 has far more three-bedroom homes or larger (81.8% compared to 67.9% in postcode 2199) and far more schools per 1,000 children. It also provides better walking access to groceries and health services for more of its residents. In contrast, postcode 2199 has a more diverse population, with a well higher share of people born overseas (43.5% versus 35.2%) and a well higher percentage of people using another language at home (64.6% versus 57.4%).
