2220, NSW 2221, NSW

Postcode 2220 and postcode 2221 are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Postcode 2220 is a young, diverse hub where 65.6% of people were born overseas and 74.4% use a language other than English at home. It is dominated by renters (45.1%) and flats or apartments. In contrast, postcode 2221 is older, with a typical resident aged 42 compared to 34 in postcode 2220. It is a much more stable, owner-occupied area where 75.4% of homes are separate houses and 42.1% are owned outright. Higher incomes are also more common here, with 35.4% of households earning $3,000 or more a week.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in typical age has widened, and the difference in home ownership and house size has grown significantly. Despite this, they remain similar in some basics; both have roughly the same share of adults working or looking for work (around 57%) and an almost identical number of people per home. They also both sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
