5117, SA 5121, SA

Postcode 5117 and postcode 5121 are neighbouring areas in Greater Adelaide with very different profiles. Postcode 5117 is a wealthier area where the typical weekly household income is $2,248, far higher than the $1,390 seen in postcode 5121. It also has a much larger share of high-income homes, with 26.8% earning over $3,000 a week compared to just 13.2% in postcode 5121. In contrast, postcode 5121 is more culturally diverse, with 27.2% of people born overseas and 21.3% using a language other than English at home, while those figures are 14.1% and 5.4% in postcode 5117.

These two areas have drifted further apart as the income gap has widened since 2011. However, they share several common traits, including similar typical weekly rents of around $333 to $350 and a high prevalence of detached houses. Both areas also have similar rates of full-time employment and an almost identical share of people needing help with daily activities. While postcode 5117 is more walkable for schools and parks, both areas sit far below the national figure for the proportion of people born overseas.
