5262, SA 5269, SA

Postcode 5262 and postcode 5269 are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Postcode 5262 is generally more advantaged, with a typical resident aged 44 and a higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (8.3% compared to 3.8% in postcode 5269). It also has a much higher proportion of people working from home at 25.2%, while postcode 5269 is marked by a far higher share of people with no religion (51.9% compared to 37.0%) and much higher rates of theft and property damage.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart across several key measures. The gap in typical age has widened to six years, and the difference in the share of people working from home has grown significantly. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,450 and a similar reliance on detached houses, which make up about 98% of homes in both places.
