5117, SA 5502, SA

Postcode 5117 and postcode 5502 are two South Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 5117 is a more affluent area where 26.8% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to just 11.9% in postcode 5502. This higher income is consistent with a larger share of residents who finished Year 12 (47.8% versus 35.6%) and a far higher average school size of 915 students compared to 116. In contrast, postcode 5502 has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 35.8%, while only 2.6% of people in postcode 5117 arrived from abroad recently.

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, including nearly identical rates of unemployment (around 3%) and a similar share of people born overseas. They also have almost the same percentage of residents needing help with daily activities and those living with a long-term health condition. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in home ownership and weekly earnings has grown since 2011, and postcode 5117 has seen a much higher rise in recorded offences over the last five years.
