2208, NSW 2223, NSW

Postcode 2223 and postcode 2208 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct housing and economic profiles. Postcode 2223 is more affluent and professional, with a typical weekly personal income of $975 and 37.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 2208 has a stronger focus on family homes, where separate houses make up 82.0% of dwellings compared to 56.4% in postcode 2223. Cultural differences are also sharp: 55.5% of people in postcode 2208 use a language other than English at home, which is far higher than the 34.0% in postcode 2223.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several measures. The gap in typical income has widened, while the difference in the share of people born overseas has narrowed. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in some ways, such as having nearly identical shares of children under 15 and the same typical monthly home-loan payments of $2,600. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
