5260, SA 5306, SA

Postcode 5260 and postcode 5306 are nearby areas in South Australia, but they differ sharply in size and demographics. Postcode 5260 is more populated, with a far higher share of one-parent families (21.7%) and children under 15 (15.0%). It also has more rental properties, with 21.1% of households renting. Postcode 5306 is sparsely populated and much more traditional in its housing; a huge 88.5% of homes are owned outright. It is also an area where more people work from home (25.7%) and a very high 68.6% of the workforce is in agriculture, forestry and fishing.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several key measures. The gap in the share of one-parent families and children under 15 has flipped, with postcode 5260 now seeing a larger lead. Meanwhile, the gap in home ownership and rental shares has widened. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in some ways, such as having almost no residents who speak little or no English and very similar household sizes.
