5153, SA 5251, SA

Postcode 5251 and postcode 5153 are two nearby South Australian areas with very different characters. Postcode 5153 is an older area where the typical resident is 45, compared to 37 in postcode 5251. It also has a more affluent profile, with a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (27.4% versus 17.2%) and more people owning their homes outright (41.4% versus 24.4%). In contrast, postcode 5251 is much more transient and connected; 50.4% of residents moved there in the last five years, and it offers far better access to public transport and a higher number of nearby amenities.

These gaps in age and wealth have generally widened since 2011. However, both areas share a similar economic baseline, with almost identical unemployment rates (around 3.4% to 3.6%) and typical weekly personal incomes of about $814 to $854. They also both have a similar proportion of adults working or looking for work, and an overall advantage score that sits close to the national figure.
