5243, SA 5251, SA

Postcode 5251 is a larger, more transient area where 50.4% of people moved in the last five years and 28.5% of homes are rented. In contrast, postcode 5243 is a smaller, more stable place with much higher home ownership, where 42% of houses are owned outright. There is also a stark divide in wealth and age; the typical resident in postcode 5243 is far older at 48, and 29.2% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 17.2% in postcode 5251.

The age gap between the two areas has widened since 2011, growing from 6 years to 11 years.
