5112, SA 5121, SA

Postcode 5112 and postcode 5121 are neighbouring areas with very different living patterns. Postcode 5112 is a more urban setting where 43% of households rent and 26.4% are one-parent families, compared to just 13.6% renting and 13.7% of one-parent families in postcode 5121. Housing differs sharply too; while 98.5% of homes in postcode 5121 are separate houses, only 66% are in postcode 5112. These differences extend to transport, with postcode 5112 being somewhat walkable and having many more public transport trips, while postcode 5121 is mostly car-dependent.

Both areas share the same typical resident age of 37 and have very similar levels of people using other languages at home. These commonalities exist even as some gaps shift; for example, the difference in home ownership and the share of one-parent families have both narrowed since 2011. However, the gap in the number of adults working or looking for work has widened, with postcode 5121 remaining far higher at 58.6% compared to 47.7% in postcode 5112.
