5046, SA 5049, SA

Postcode 5049 and postcode 5046 are neighbouring areas in Adelaide with very different housing and lifestyles. Postcode 5049 is more suburban, with separate houses being far more common (84.8%) and a higher share of homes owned outright (41.3%). In contrast, postcode 5046 has a more urban feel, where renting is far more common (33.4%) and many more people live alone (33.7%). This is also reflected in the street layout, with postcode 5046 having much higher street connectivity and far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries.

These gaps in housing and tenure have generally widened since 2011. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas share a similar unemployment rate of around 4.7% and an overall advantage score that sits near the national average. They also both have a high proportion of older residents, with about 22% of the population aged 65 or over. While postcode 5046 is much more walkable and has far more public transport departures, both areas provide almost every home with a park within a 15-minute walk.
