5038, SA 5046, SA

Postcode 5038 and postcode 5046 are neighbouring areas in South Australia with distinct characters. Postcode 5038 is a more diverse and educated hub, where 32.1% of people use a language other than English at home and 34.0% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 5046 has a noticeably older population, with a typical age of 40 compared to 36 in postcode 5038, and a higher share of seniors at 22.5%. Postcode 5046 also records much higher levels of crime, including far more theft and property damage.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have shifted, with the differences in typical age and the share of people born overseas both narrowing. Despite these trends, they share a very similar economic profile, including nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes and shares of high-earning households. Both areas also have the same percentage of children under 15, and both sit well above the national figure for people born overseas.
