5151, SA 5153, SA

Postcode 5153 and postcode 5151 are two distinct South Australian areas with very different scales. Postcode 5151 is a small, high-income hub where 37.7% of households earn $3,000 or more a week and public transport is highly accessible, with 54% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop.

Both areas share a very similar share of children under 15, at around 16%. While they are alike in this way, other gaps have grown over time.
