2225, NSW 2229, NSW

Postcode 2229 and postcode 2225 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different housing and income profiles. Postcode 2225 is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $3,204 compared to $2,235 in postcode 2229, and 50.2% of households earning $3,000 or more per week. Homes in postcode 2225 are also generally larger and more likely to be detached, with 92.5% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 2229 is more accessible; it is far more likely to have homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (94.3% versus 72.8%) and schools (96.0% versus 70.6%).

Both areas share a similar background, with nearly identical shares of people born overseas and a similar proportion of the population identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. These similarities exist alongside growing gaps in wealth and housing. Since 2011, the difference in typical incomes has widened and the gap in the share of large, three-plus bedroom homes has increased. Postcode 2229 has also become more distinct in its mobility, with a far higher share of people moving into the area in the last five years.
