2205, NSW 2216, NSW

Postcode 2216 and postcode 2205 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney. They differ most in their residents' backgrounds and home lives. Postcode 2205 is younger, with a typical resident aged 32 compared to 37 in postcode 2216. It also has a higher share of people with bachelor degrees (43.7% versus 31.6%) and a much larger proportion of people who identify with no religion (36.7% versus 20.7%). Postcode 2216 has more detached houses (33.5% versus 21.7%) and a higher share of homes owned outright (27.6% versus 15.6%).

Both areas share a very similar density of people per home and a near-identical unemployment rate of around 6%. This common ground is seen alongside a growing divide in other areas; since 2011, the gap in university qualifications and the number of people working from home have both widened. Postcode 2205 has also become increasingly more transient, with 57.4% of residents having moved in the last five years compared to 41.8% in postcode 2216.
