5144, SA 5245, SA

Postcode 5245 and postcode 5144 are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different layouts. Postcode 5245 is very walkable, with 74.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 72.3% near a school. In contrast, postcode 5144 is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or schools. There are also clear gaps in demographics and wealth; postcode 5144 has a higher share of university graduates (35.9% versus 26.4%) and more households earning $3,000 or more a week (31.4% versus 25.2%).

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, including very similar typical weekly household incomes and nearly identical rates of people who served in the Defence Force. While they are alike in these ways, some gaps are shifting. The difference in university qualifications and high weekly earnings has widened since 2011, while the gap in the proportion of older residents has narrowed.
