5153, SA 5154, SA

Postcode 5153 and postcode 5154 are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and levels of wealth. Postcode 5154 is a more affluent and walkable hub, where 46.3% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and typical weekly incomes are $2,561. In contrast, postcode 5153 is more car-dependent, with a typical weekly income of $2,033 and only 32% of adults with a university degree. The two areas also differ in their infrastructure; postcode 5153 has far more schools and a higher number of schools within 3km, while postcode 5154 has significantly more public transport and a much shorter walk to the nearest stop.

Since 2011, the gap between them has generally widened, particularly regarding income and education. While the typical resident in both areas is 45 years old and health conditions are equally common, the financial divide has grown as the income gap increased from $387 to $528. This trend is mirrored in the education data, with the gap in bachelor degrees widening slightly over the last decade. Both areas sit above the national figure for typical household incomes, though postcode 5154 is far further above the Australian average.
