5006, SA 5031, SA

Postcode 5031 and postcode 5006 are neighbouring areas in Greater Adelaide with very different housing and age profiles. Postcode 5031 is more family-oriented, with a well higher share of children under 15 (12.9%) and far more separate houses (63.9%). In contrast, postcode 5006 has a much older population, with 24.7% aged 65 and over, and far more people living alone (41.7%). Postcode 5031 also has a much higher proportion of people using another language at home (31.3% compared to 18.9%).

These two areas are remarkably similar in their general advantage levels and the number of public transport stops they each have. This shared foundation exists alongside some widening gaps; for instance, the difference in the number of people aged 65 and over has grown since 2011. While both areas have high rates of university qualifications, the gap in the share of adults with a bachelor degree has narrowed over time.
