5142, SA 5154, SA

Postcode 5154 and postcode 5142 are neighboring areas in South Australia with very different profiles. Postcode 5154 is a high-earning area where 46.3% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher and 92.6% of homes have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 5142 has a higher concentration of smaller homes and more people living alone, at 23.3%. While postcode 5154 has far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, postcode 5142 is more walkable for groceries and schools.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several measures. The gap in higher education and Year 12 completion has narrowed, while the gap in larger homes and people living alone has widened. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in many ways, including their proportions of people with no religion, those needing help with daily activities, and those who speak English as their only language.
