2227, NSW 2228, NSW

Postcode 2228 and postcode 2227 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with different housing and cultural profiles. Postcode 2228 is more diverse and urban, with 21.5% of people using a language other than English at home and 94.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, postcode 2227 has more traditional family housing, with 75.5% of homes having three or more bedrooms and 63.3% being separate houses.

These two areas have seen several gaps widen since 2011. Postcode 2228 has become more distinct for its higher proportion of renters and overseas-born residents, while postcode 2227 has seen an increase in high-income households and people working from home. Despite these shifting trends, the two places remain very similar in some ways, including a typical resident age of 40 and nearly identical unemployment rates.
