5259, SA 5265, SA

Postcode 5259 and postcode 5265 are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia, but they differ in their layout and demographics. Postcode 5265 is more focused around a hub, with a mostly car-dependent walkability score and 57.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, postcode 5259 is car-dependent and only 0.4% of homes are near groceries. Other key gaps include a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population in postcode 5259 (10.5% compared to 1.2%) and far more people working from home in postcode 5265 (26.0% versus 14.9%).

While the gap in the number of recent overseas arrivals has widened since 2011, the two areas share several similarities. Both have roughly the same share of people aged 65 and over, similar typical weekly rents of $150, and a nearly identical share of homes with three or more bedrooms. They also sit at about the same level of overall advantage, both tracking slightly below the national figure.
