5061, SA 5062, SA

Postcode 5062 and postcode 5061 are neighbouring areas in Adelaide with very different street-level profiles. Postcode 5061 is a walker's paradise, where every single home is within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, postcode 5062 is less walkable, with just 54.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. Postcode 5061 also sees much higher rates of crime, including a burglary rate of 1,077 and a theft rate of 2,635 per 100,000 people, which are far higher than in postcode 5062.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who speak little or no English. They are also very similar in other ways, with the same typical resident age of 44 and almost identical typical weekly household incomes of around $2,200. While they share these traits, some gaps are shifting; for example, the difference in the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher has narrowed since 2011, and the gap in the number of people using another language at home has also shrunk.
