2228, NSW 2232, NSW

Postcode 2232 and postcode 2228 are two nearby areas in Greater Sydney with very different layouts. Postcode 2232 is a much larger, more spread-out area where the drive to the city takes 89 minutes, compared to just 26 minutes in postcode 2228. This difference is reflected in their infrastructure; postcode 2232 has far more schools (14 versus 5) and more public transport stops, while postcode 2228 is much more compact with a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (94.1% compared to 57.9%).

Cultural gaps between the two have widened since 2011, with postcode 2228 seeing a growing lead in the share of people born overseas (26.3%) and those using a language other than English at home (21.5%). Despite this, the two areas remain very similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly household incomes and the number of people living in each home. They also share a similar profile of residents, with typical ages of 39 and 40 and almost identical shares of children under 15.
