Postcode comparison ≈ 5.9 km apart · 5043, SA profile · 5049, SA profile

5043, SA 5049, SA

Postcode 5043 and postcode 5049 are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Postcode 5043 is more transient and diverse, with 21.6% of residents arriving recently from overseas and 27.4% using a language other than English at home. It has a much higher share of renters (40.5%) and more people living alone (36.5%). In contrast, postcode 5049 is more established, with 41.3% of homes owned outright and a higher share of larger houses, as 84.0% of homes have three or more bedrooms.

Both areas are very similar in their public transport access, with nearly the same number of stops and departures per 1,000 people. However, they have drifted apart in other ways since 2011. The gap in home ownership and weekly income has widened, and postcode 5043 has become far more linguistically diverse than postcode 5049. This is consistent with postcode 5043 having a much higher rate of recent overseas arrivals.
