5008, SA 5012, SA

Postcode 5008 and postcode 5012 are neighbouring areas in South Australia with distinct profiles. Postcode 5012 is far more culturally diverse, with 51.6% of people born overseas and 61.5% using another language at home, compared to 34.5% and 39.0% in postcode 5008. However, postcode 5008 is generally more advantaged; its typical weekly family income is well higher at $1,958, while postcode 5012 earns $1,529. This is consistent with a higher share of university qualifications in postcode 5008, where 28.6% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 21.1% in postcode 5012.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in overseas births and the use of other languages at home has grown, as has the gap in typical weekly incomes. Despite this, they share many everyday similarities, such as having almost identical rates of people needing daily help (7.2%) and roughly the same number of public transport stops (around 57). Both areas also see about 38% of their residents moving house in the last five years.
