5157, SA 5161, SA

Postcode 5161 and postcode 5157 are nearby areas in South Australia with very different profiles. Postcode 5157 is wealthier and older, with a typical resident aged 48 and 25.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 5161 is younger, with a typical resident aged 40, and has a much higher rate of one-parent families (17.3%) and people living alone (29.6%). Postcode 5161 is more urban, with 95% of homes within a 15-minute walk of local amenities and far more public transport options, while postcode 5157 is more car-dependent and sparsely populated.

The two areas have grown further apart in several ways since 2011. The gap in typical age has widened, and the difference in high weekly incomes has become more pronounced. Despite these trends, they share some common ground, such as having almost identical proportions of people with no religion (around 55%) and similar shares of residents aged 65 and over. They also both have a high number of three- or more bedroom homes.
