5157, SA 5159, SA

Postcode 5159 and postcode 5157 are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Postcode 5159 is a larger population centre that is somewhat walkable, with 91.5% of homes within 10 minutes of public transport and a typical walk to a stop of just 4 minutes. In contrast, postcode 5157 is car-dependent, where a typical walk to a stop takes 37 minutes and only 13.9% of homes are near public transport. Other gaps are seen in housing and demographics; 45.7% of postcode 5157 residents own their homes outright compared to 35.3% in postcode 5159, while postcode 5159 has a higher share of people born overseas (22.6% vs 16.5%).

These two areas share very similar weekly household and personal incomes, as well as nearly identical unemployment rates. They also have almost the same proportion of adults working or looking for work and a similar share of people providing unpaid care. While they are alike in these everyday financial terms, the gap in the share of people using a language other than English at home has widened since 2011. At the same time, the difference in the share of people who have no religion has narrowed over that period.
