5250, SA 5254, SA

Postcode 5254 and postcode 5250 are nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 5250 is a more affluent and educated hub, where 25.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 24.7% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 5254 has lower levels of higher education, with only 11.0% of adults holding a degree, and 10.5% of households earning that same weekly amount. Postcode 5250 is also far more walkable, described as somewhat walkable, while postcode 5254 is car-dependent and has a much longer typical walk to the nearest transport stop.

Daily life in both places shares many common traits, such as nearly identical rates of full-time employment, volunteering, and people working from home. They also have a similar share of one-parent families and people who have served in the Defence Force. However, the gap in higher education and high incomes between the two areas has widened since 2011. This trend is reflected in the typical rent, which is notably higher in postcode 5250.
