5170, SA 5203, SA

Postcode 5203 and postcode 5170 are both South Australian areas with similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in age and education. Postcode 5203 is far older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 35.9% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, the typical resident in postcode 5170 is 46, and it has a far higher share of people who completed Year 12 (55.6% compared to 41.1% in postcode 5203). While postcode 5170 has far more public transport options and a higher share of working adults, postcode 5203 has more homes within walking distance of groceries and health services.

Since 2011, the two areas have moved further apart in several key ways. The gap in educational attainment and the share of people born overseas have both widened. Similarly, the difference in the proportion of working adults has grown. Despite these trends, the areas remain alike in some respects, such as their typical monthly home-loan payments and the share of people providing unpaid care.
