5173, SA 5203, SA

Postcode 5203 and postcode 5173 are two South Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 5203 is much older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 35.9% of people aged 65 and over. It is largely car-dependent, with a 66-minute drive to the city and 43.4% of homes owned outright. In contrast, postcode 5173 is younger, with a typical age of 40 and a much higher share of one-parent families (20.2%). It is also far more connected, being somewhat walkable and having 95.7% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport.

Both areas share similar daily experiences in some ways, with almost identical unemployment rates and similar levels of access to money and resources. They also have nearly the same share of people in de facto relationships and those who have served in the Defence Force. While they have a lot in common, some gaps are shifting; the difference in typical age has narrowed slightly since 2011, though the gap in outright home ownership has widened.
