2207, NSW 2217, NSW

Postcode 2217 and postcode 2207 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney that differ sharply in how people live and where they come from. Postcode 2217 is much more transient and diverse, with 43.4% of people moving in the last five years and 19.2% arriving recently from overseas. This area has far more renters (39.7%) and a high share of apartments. In contrast, postcode 2207 is dominated by separate houses (60.2%), which are far more common there than in postcode 2217.
