2203, NSW 2206, NSW

Postcode 2206 and postcode 2203 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and social profiles. Postcode 2206 is dominated by detached houses (79.9%) and larger homes, with 77% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 2203 is mostly apartments (57.1%) and has a much higher share of renters at 46.1%. There is also a notable gap in education and language; 45% of adults in postcode 2203 hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 28.3% in postcode 2206, while 46.7% of people in postcode 2206 use a language other than English at home, which is far higher than the 27.3% in postcode 2203.

The gap in home ownership has narrowed slightly since 2011, but other differences are growing. The two areas share similar typical weekly household incomes of around $2,100 and have nearly identical access to parks and schools. However, postcode 2203 has become increasingly distinct, with a widening gap in the number of people living alone (34.4% versus 19.7%) and a much larger share of residents who report having no religion (48.9% compared to 24.2%).
