2226, NSW 2232, NSW

Postcode 2232 and postcode 2226 are two nearby areas in Greater Sydney with very different layouts. Postcode 2226 is much more affluent, with 41.4% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 31.1% in postcode 2232. Homes in postcode 2226 are also larger and more often detached; 76.8% have three or more bedrooms, while postcode 2232 has just 60.2%. Postcode 2232 is more spread out, with a drive time to the city of 89 minutes, which is far higher than the 30 minutes for postcode 2226.

The gap between these two places has shifted since 2011, particularly as the difference in high incomes and the share of larger homes has widened. However, they share several common traits, such as a typical weekly rent of $460 and nearly identical proportions of people born overseas. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for working from home, though this is now more common in postcode 2226.
