5174, SA 5222, SA

Postcode 5222 and postcode 5174 are two different South Australian settings, separated by about 70km. Residents are far older in postcode 5222, where the typical person is 56 and 33.8% are seniors. In contrast, the typical resident in postcode 5174 is 42. This age gap helps explain why postcode 5222 has far more people living alone (35.3%) and a much higher share of homes owned outright (49.2%). Postcode 5174 is more family-oriented, with more children and a higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (83.8%).

Everyday life shares some similarities, as both areas have nearly identical rates of unemployment, a similar share of people born overseas, and almost the same percentage of people who speak a language other than English at home. While they share these traits, some gaps are widening. For example, the difference in the proportion of seniors has grown since 2011, and the gap in home ownership is now more pronounced, as postcode 5174 has a higher share of mortgages.
