2205, NSW 2207, NSW

Postcode 2207 and postcode 2205 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and age profiles. Residents in postcode 2207 are far older, with a typical age of 40 compared to 32 in postcode 2205. This age gap is reflected in the housing; postcode 2207 has far more separate houses (60.2%) and homes owned outright (37.3%), while postcode 2205 is dominated by flats or apartments (72.2%) and renters (51.5%). Postcode 2205 is also more transient and diverse, with 57.6% of people born overseas and 57.4% moving in within the last five years.

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, with nearly identical typical weekly family incomes and similar shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. Both areas also have the same number of public transport routes. However, the differences between them have grown since 2011. The gap in typical age has doubled to 8 years, and the difference in overseas birth rates has widened to 17 percentage points. While both areas are well above the national figure for people using another language at home, this is even more common in postcode 2205.
