5256, SA 5264, SA

Postcode 5264 and postcode 5256 are both sparsely populated areas of South Australia. Postcode 5264 is far more isolated, with a drive time to the city that is 40 minutes longer than in postcode 5256. It has a higher share of renters at 24.4% compared to 13.5% in postcode 5256, and a well higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 9.2%. In contrast, postcode 5256 has a much higher proportion of people born overseas (18.5% versus 8.5%) and a far higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who have no religion. They also share very similar profiles in terms of the typical number of people per home, the share of people who are employed full-time, and the proportion of residents aged 65 and over. While some gaps have narrowed since 2011, such as the difference in people born overseas and typical weekly rents, the gap in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population has widened.
