2212, NSW 2234, NSW

Postcode 2234 and postcode 2212 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2234 is a wealthier area where 42.9% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, and 43.3% of homes are owned outright. In contrast, postcode 2212 is much more diverse and urban; 37.9% of its people were born overseas, and 46.6% use a language other than English at home. This makes postcode 2212 very walkable, while postcode 2234 is only somewhat walkable, with many more separate houses and larger homes.

Daily life in both places shares similar family structures, as each has about 18% to 19% of their population under 15 and a similar number of people per home. However, the gaps between them are often widening. Since 2011, the difference in the share of people born overseas has grown to 18 points, and the gap in rental rates has widened to 24.4 points. While postcode 2234 remains more affluent, the difference in typical family income has narrowed slightly over the last decade.
