2222, NSW 2226, NSW

Postcode 2226 and postcode 2222 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different profiles. Postcode 2226 is a wealthier area where 41.4% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, and most homes are separate houses (70.1%). In contrast, postcode 2222 is much more diverse and rental-heavy; 47.9% of its residents were born overseas, and 36.8% of its households rent. The gap in language use is also stark, with 51.9% of people in postcode 2222 using a language other than English at home, compared to 11.6% in postcode 2226.

Both areas are effectively alike in several ways, such as their share of people aged 65 and over (about 16%) and their overall advantage scores, which sit near the national average.

The gap in typical weekly household income has widened to $729, and far more people in postcode 2226 now work from home compared to postcode 2222.
