5159, SA 5201, SA

Postcode 5201 and postcode 5159 are both in Greater Adelaide, but they offer very different lifestyles. Postcode 5159 is a much more populated area with better access to services; 91.5% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, compared to 45.4% in postcode 5201. Public transport is far more frequent in postcode 5159, which also has a far higher share of people born overseas (22.6% compared to 10.8%). In contrast, postcode 5201 is more isolated, with a much longer drive to the city (45 minutes versus 22 minutes) and a far higher rate of motor vehicle theft.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, including a very similar typical weekly family income and almost the same share of households that rent. However, some gaps are widening. Since 2011, the difference in the share of people born overseas and those using another language at home has grown. The gap in the number of people aged 65 and over has also increased, with postcode 5159 now well higher than postcode 5201.
