5254, SA 5259, SA

Postcode 5259 and postcode 5254 are nearby South Australian areas with different profiles.

It also has a higher proportion of renters at 24.1% and a lower typical weekly rent of $150. In contrast, postcode 5254 is closer to the city, has more people who own their homes with a mortgage, and a higher typical weekly rent of $250.
