2230, NSW 2231, NSW

Postcode 2230 and postcode 2231 are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different characters. Postcode 2230 is a densely populated, high-walkability area described as a walker's paradise, where 52.8% of homes are flats or apartments. In contrast, postcode 2231 is much smaller and mostly consists of separate houses, which make up 95.2% of its dwellings. Educational profiles differ sharply; 31.1% of adults in postcode 2230 hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 12.2% in postcode 2231.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has grown in several ways. More people are now working from home in postcode 2230, and the difference in university qualifications has widened. At the same time, postcode 2230 has become noticeably older and more diverse, with a growing gap in both the typical resident's age and the share of people born overseas. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in some ways, such as having a similar typical weekly household income and an unemployment rate around 3%.
