5202, SA 5204, SA

Postcode 5204 and postcode 5202 are two nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 5204 is a much older community where the typical resident is 60, compared to 40 in postcode 5202. This older population helps explain why people aged 65 and over are far more common in postcode 5204 (39.4%), while people with long-term health conditions are also far more frequent (40.6%). In contrast, postcode 5202 has a younger feel, with a higher share of children under 15 (21.3%) and typical weekly incomes that are far higher at $1,537, compared to $947 in postcode 5204.

Both areas have a similar overall advantage score, which sits close to the national average. They also share very similar rates of people using another language at home and a nearly identical share of residents who finished Year 12. However, the gaps between them are growing; the difference in typical age has widened from 11 years in 2011 to 20 years today, and the gap in weekly household income has more than doubled in that same time.
