2221, NSW 2225, NSW

Postcode 2221 and postcode 2225 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different social profiles. Postcode 2221 is far more diverse, with 36.0% of people born overseas and 47.8% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 2225 is wealthier, where 50.2% of households earn $3,000 or more a week and typical weekly household income is well higher at $3,204 compared to $2,261 in postcode 2221. Postcode 2221 is also more convenient for pedestrians, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (93.7%) and health services (80.0%).

Both areas share a similar housing density, with about 3 people per home and monthly mortgage payments around $3,000 to $3,165. While they are alike in these basics, other gaps are growing. The difference in household income and the share of people born overseas have both widened since 2011. Postcode 2225 has also become more distinct in its lack of religious affiliation, which is now far higher than in postcode 2221.
