5251, SA 5252, SA

Postcode 5251 and postcode 5252 are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different levels of activity and accessibility. Postcode 5251 is more developed, with far more public transport trips per person (723.7 compared to 330.5) and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (43.8% vs 10.3%). It is also more transient; 50.4% of residents moved there in the last five years, which is well above the national figure. In contrast, postcode 5252 is more car-dependent, with a typical walk to the nearest stop taking 38 minutes, compared to 19 minutes in postcode 5251.

These two areas have drifted apart in some ways since 2011, with the gap in recent arrivals and the share of people born overseas both widening. However, they remain very similar in other respects. Both have a typical resident age of 37, and they share almost identical typical weekly personal incomes. They are also alike in their housing density, with about 2.5 to 2.6 people per home, and both have a much lower share of people with a religion than the national figure.
