Postcode comparison ≈ 4.1 km apart · 2206, NSW profile · 2216, NSW profile

2206, NSW 2216, NSW

Postcode 2216 and postcode 2206 are neighbouring areas with very different housing and demographic profiles. Postcode 2216 is a younger, more transient hub where 52.6% of people were born overseas and 41.8% moved in within the last five years. It is dominated by apartments, with a much higher rental rate of 42.2%. In contrast, postcode 2206 is more established and affluent, with 79.9% of homes being separate houses and a typical resident who is noticeably older at 44. Many more people here own their homes outright (43.8%) and a larger share of households earn $3,000 or more per week (33.0%).

Since 2011, the two areas have grown further apart in several key ways. The gap in rental rates and the number of people born overseas has widened, while far more people in postcode 2206 now work from home than in postcode 2216. Despite these diverging trends, they share a similar overall advantage score and almost identical levels of full-time employment. Both areas also offer excellent local accessibility, with nearly every home within a 15-minute walk of a transit stop or a variety of amenities.
