Postcode comparison ≈ 2.2 km apart · 2224, NSW profile · 2228, NSW profile

2224, NSW 2228, NSW

Postcode 2228 and postcode 2224 are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Postcode 2228 is a more transient, urban environment where 31.1% of households rent and 42.5% of residents moved in during the last five years. In contrast, postcode 2224 is more established and family-oriented, with far more detached houses (65.4% compared to 46.1%) and a higher share of homes owned outright at 41.8%. While postcode 2228 is very walkable and close to shops and schools, postcode 2224 has larger homes, with 81.2% having three or more bedrooms.

Both areas share a very similar demographic profile, including nearly identical proportions of children under 15 and people born overseas. This common ground exists alongside a growing divide in housing and age. The gap in home ownership and the difference in typical age—which is five years older in postcode 2224—have both widened since 2011. While both areas sit above the national figure for people aged 65 and over, this group is more prominent in postcode 2224.
