2221, NSW 2230, NSW

Postcode 2230 and postcode 2221 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and cultural profiles. Postcode 2221 is far more multicultural, with 47.8% of people using a language other than English at home and 36.0% born overseas, compared with 9.0% and 17.1% in postcode 2230. Home styles also differ sharply; 75.4% of dwellings in postcode 2221 are separate houses, while postcode 2230 is dominated by flats or apartments. Postcode 2230 has a higher proportion of renters (32.9% versus 18.3%) and a typical weekly personal income that is well higher at $1,156, compared with $851 in postcode 2221.

Both areas share a very similar typical resident age of 42. This commonality exists alongside growing gaps in other areas of life. The difference in cultural diversity has widened since 2011, as has the gap in personal incomes. However, the two areas have become more similar in some ways, with the gap in outright home ownership narrowing over the last decade.
