5252, SA 5255, SA

Postcode 5255 and postcode 5252 are nearby South Australian areas with very different age profiles. Postcode 5255 is much older, with a typical resident aged 47 and seniors making up 24.6% of the population. In contrast, the typical person in postcode 5252 is 37, and only 13% are aged 65 or over. There are also clear differences in how people live and work; postcode 5252 has a much higher share of adults working or looking for work (71.1% compared to 57.4%) and more people who have finished Year 12. Home ownership also differs, with far more people owning their home outright in postcode 5255 (39.8% compared to 25.4%).

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in several ways, with the age gap widening and the difference in qualification levels increasing. However, they remain very similar in other respects. They have almost identical shares of people born overseas, those using a language other than English at home, and those providing unpaid care. Both areas also show nearly the same typical monthly mortgage payments and have a similar number of people per home.
