2222, NSW 2225, NSW

Postcode 2222 and postcode 2225 are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Postcode 2222 is a high-density, multicultural hub where 47.9% of people were born overseas and 51.9% use a language other than English at home. It is a walker's paradise with a high share of renters (36.8%) and many residents living in flats or apartments. In contrast, postcode 2225 is a wealthier area where separate houses are the norm (82.1%) and the typical weekly household income is far higher at $3,204, compared to $1,840 in postcode 2222.

Income and housing gaps between these two neighbours have widened since 2011. While they share similar levels of university qualifications and a similar share of residents aged over 65, they have drifted apart financially. The gap in typical weekly household income has grown to $1,364, and the difference in the proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms has also increased. Both areas remain very well connected, with almost every home within a 10-minute walk of public transport.
