5261, SA 5266, SA

Postcode 5266 and postcode 5261 are both sparsely populated South Australian areas. Postcode 5266 is much more mobile and diverse, with 37.5% of people moving in the last five years and a high share of recent overseas arrivals (28.2%). It also has better walkability, with 45% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, postcode 5261 has a much older typical resident at 45, and a far higher rate of recorded offences per 100,000 people (5,970 compared to 1,146 in postcode 5266).

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged in several key ways. The age gap has flipped, with residents now far older in postcode 5261, while the gap in recent overseas arrivals and renters has widened significantly. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain alike in other ways. They have almost identical typical family incomes, similar shares of adults with a university degree, and both have about the same percentage of people aged 65 and over.
