5125, SA 5231, SA

Postcode 5231 and postcode 5125 are nearby South Australian areas with very different layouts. Postcode 5125 is a somewhat walkable area where 75.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while postcode 5231 is car-dependent and has no homes within that distance of a shop. This contrast extends to public transport, with postcode 5125 seeing far more weekly departures per 1,000 people (1,123.5) compared to postcode 5231 (68.5). Education also differs sharply; schools in postcode 5125 are much larger, with an average size of 820 students, whereas the average school in postcode 5231 has only 62.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, from nearly identical typical weekly household incomes—around $1,900—to similar shares of children and retirees. Both areas also have about the same proportion of people with long-term health conditions. Over time, some of the gaps between them are shifting. The difference in the typical age of residents has narrowed slightly to four years, and the gap in the share of people born overseas has also narrowed since 2011.
