5231, SA 5232, SA

Postcode 5231 and postcode 5232 are two nearby South Australian areas with distinct profiles. Postcode 5231 is more family-oriented, with a well higher share of children under 15 (17.0% compared to 11.5%) and better access to amenities, such as more homes within walking distance of a school. In contrast, postcode 5232 is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 52 and a far higher share of homes owned outright at 53.1%. Rents are also far higher in postcode 5231, where the typical weekly cost is $300, compared to just $120 in postcode 5232.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in typical age has grown to six years, and the gap in home ownership has increased. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain very similar in some ways, such as their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,900. Both areas are also very car-dependent, though residents in postcode 5232 face a much longer walk to the nearest transport stop.
