2218, NSW 2219, NSW

Postcode 2218 and postcode 2219 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct profiles. Postcode 2218 is a walker's paradise where 100% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries and health services. It is much younger and more diverse, with 53.7% of people born overseas and a typical resident aged 37. In contrast, postcode 2219 is far older, with a typical age of 45 and a higher share of homeowners who own their place outright (39.2% compared to 29.1% in postcode 2218).

Both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage. They share several everyday similarities, including a similar typical weekly household income and the same amount of time to drive to the city. However, the gap in age has widened since 2011, and postcode 2218 has seen a growing lead in the share of recent overseas arrivals and renters.
