3420, VIC 5269, SA

Postcode 5269 and postcode 3420 are both sparsely populated areas with fewer than 300 residents each. They differ sharply in wealth and work habits, with postcode 3420 seeing far more people earning $2,000 or more a week (18.6% compared to 3.8% in postcode 5269). This is consistent with postcode 3420 having a much higher share of managers and professionals, and a far higher rate of people working from home at 36.0%. Postcode 5269 is more likely to have people in de facto relationships (19.2% versus 8.9%) and has a much higher number of recorded offences per 100,000 people.

Since 2011, the gaps in income and home ownership have widened, with postcode 3420 pulling further ahead in both typical weekly income and the share of homes owned outright. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share the same typical resident age of 38 and have nearly identical rates of people born overseas and those using other languages at home. Both areas also lack schools within a 3km walk and have almost no public transport use for commuting.
