5116, SA 5121, SA

Postcode 5116 and postcode 5121 are nearby South Australian areas with very different living patterns. Postcode 5116 is more connected and urban, with far more people renting (30.6% compared to 13.6%) and a higher share of people who identify as having no religion (53.5% versus 42.4%). In contrast, postcode 5121 is overwhelmingly made up of separate houses (98.5% compared to 80.4%) and has a much larger proportion of people born overseas (27.2% versus 16.8%) and those using a language other than English at home (21.3% versus 5.2%).
