2208, NSW 2218, NSW

Postcode 2218 and postcode 2208 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and population profiles. Postcode 2218 is a high-density area where 56.2% of homes are flats or apartments and 40.3% of households rent. It has a more transient population, with 39.9% of people moving in the last five years and 16.5% arriving from overseas. In contrast, postcode 2208 is dominated by detached houses (82%) and larger homes, with 77% having three or more bedrooms. It is more established, with 40.9% of homes owned outright compared to 29.1% in postcode 2218.

Since 2011, the gap in home ownership and housing types has narrowed, but the difference in overseas births has widened. Both areas now share very similar typical weekly household incomes, sitting just under $2,000. They also both have a high proportion of people born overseas compared to the national figure, and their levels of full-time employment and education skills are effectively the same.
