5112, SA 5127, SA

Postcode 5112 and postcode 5127 are neighbouring areas in Greater Adelaide with very different profiles. Postcode 5112 is a diverse area where 20.3% of people use another language at home and 14% arrived recently from overseas. It has a higher share of renters (43%) and a lower typical household income of $992. In contrast, postcode 5127 is more affluent, with a typical household income of $1,733 and far more residents who have completed Year 12 (56.9% compared to 36.6% in postcode 5112). This is consistent with a higher share of adults in postcode 5127 holding a bachelor degree or higher.

Both areas are effectively alike in how many people live in each home and the time it takes to drive to the city. They also share a high level of access to nature, with nearly every home within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, the gap in wealth and education has widened since 2011. While the difference in the share of one-parent families and people living alone has narrowed over time, the gap in typical incomes and home ownership has grown.
