5203, SA 5204, SA

Postcode 5204 and postcode 5203 are two nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles of accessibility and safety. Postcode 5203 is far more walkable, with 46.1% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to just 20.7% in postcode 5204, and it has much larger schools. In contrast, postcode 5204 has far more homes owned outright (53.6% versus 43.4%) and a much higher recorded offence rate, with 3,676 crimes per 100,000 people compared to 2,121 in postcode 5203.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions regarding their populations. The age gap has widened as postcode 5204 has become even older than postcode 5203, while the difference in outright home ownership has narrowed slightly. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other ways, such as having nearly identical typical weekly incomes of around $540 and a similarly high share of residents with long-term health conditions, which is around 40% in both places.
