5172, SA 5214, SA

Postcode 5214 and postcode 5172 are two nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 5214 is a much older area, where the typical resident is 62 and 44.6% of people are aged 65 or over. It has a lower typical household income of $938 a week and a higher rate of long-term health conditions at 44.5%. In contrast, postcode 5172 is younger and more affluent, with a typical household income of $1,809 and a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (25.2% compared to 13.7% in postcode 5214).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. This is most evident in the typical age difference, which grew from 12 to 15 years, and the income gap, which rose from $560 to $899 for typical households. Despite these diverging trends, they remain similar in some ways, such as their small populations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the low share of residents who use a language other than English at home.
