2221, NSW 2228, NSW

Postcode 2228 and postcode 2221 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and cultural profiles. Postcode 2221 is dominated by family homes, with 75.4% being separate houses and 81.4% having three or more bedrooms, compared to 46.1% and 58.1% in postcode 2228. Cultural backgrounds also differ; 47.8% of people in postcode 2221 use a language other than English at home, which is far higher than the 21.5% in postcode 2228. Postcode 2228 is more transient and urban, with 42.5% of residents moving in the last five years and a far higher share of renters at 31.1%.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who use another language at home, though postcode 2221 is far above the Australian average. They share similar demographics, with almost identical proportions of children under 15 and people aged 65 and over. While they remain alike in these areas, several gaps have widened since 2011, particularly in the share of homes owned outright and the number of separate houses in postcode 2221.
