2221, NSW 2227, NSW

Postcode 2221 and postcode 2227 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with similar population sizes.

In contrast, postcode 2227 has far fewer people using another language at home (11.2%) and a much higher share of residents who report having no religion (36.5% compared to 26.1% in postcode 2221). Postcode 2221 also has a higher share of separate houses (75.4%) and more homes with three or more bedrooms.
