5201, SA 5255, SA

Postcode 5255 and postcode 5201 are nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 5255 is a larger population centre where residents are noticeably older, with a typical age of 47 and 24.6% of people aged 65 or over. It has a much higher crime rate, with 2,149 recorded offences per 100,000 people, and typical school sizes are far larger at 825 students. In contrast, postcode 5201 is more walkable, with 50.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of various amenities and a typical resident age of 41.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in the typical age has grown from one year to six years, and the gap in people aged 65 or over has increased to 8.8 percentage points. While they have drifted apart in age and education, they remain very similar in other ways, such as having a similar proportion of people who served in the Defence Force and almost identical commute times of 45 minutes to the city.
