2203, NSW 2204, NSW

Postcode 2204 and postcode 2203 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct levels of accessibility. Postcode 2204 is much more connected, with 74 public transport stops and far more frequent departures compared to 24 stops in postcode 2203. This advantage extends to local services, as postcode 2204 has far more walkable amenities and 8 schools within 3 km, while postcode 2203 has four. Postcode 2204 also has a more diverse population, with 33.1% of people using a language other than English at home, which is well higher than the 27.3% in postcode 2203.

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, though some gaps are narrowing. They are very similar in terms of typical weekly household incomes and the proportion of children under 15. While postcode 2204 has a higher share of people born overseas and those who speak little or no English, these gaps have shrunk over time.
