5245, SA 5251, SA

Postcode 5251 and postcode 5245 are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different populations. Postcode 5251 is a younger and more transient place, where the typical resident is 37 and over half of the people have moved in within the last five years. In contrast, postcode 5245 is far older, with a typical resident aged 51 and a much higher share of seniors (30.6%). These differences extend to housing, where homes are far more likely to be owned outright in postcode 5245 (44%) compared to postcode 5251 (24.4%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage. They also share similar typical weekly incomes, around $800, and a similar rate of unemployment. However, they have drifted apart in other ways since 2011. The age gap has widened to 14 years, and the difference in home ownership has grown. While postcode 5245 provides better access to transport and groceries within a short walk, postcode 5251 has more street intersections and larger schools.
