2198, NSW 2200, NSW

Postcode 2200 and postcode 2198 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different characters. Postcode 2200 is a highly diverse, high-density hub where 52.1% of people were born overseas and 70.9% use a language other than English at home. It is a walker's paradise with high rental rates (45.0%) and many apartments. In contrast, postcode 2198 is much more suburban, with 85.5% of homes being separate houses and 39.3% owned outright. It is also more affluent, with a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more per week (22.6% compared to 13.6% in postcode 2200).

Everyday life in both places shares several common features, as they both sit about 24 minutes from the city and have almost identical rates of full-time employment. They also share very similar access to parks and public transport. While they are alike in these ways, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in the number of people born overseas has grown since 2011, and the gap in weekly household earnings has also increased.
