5268, SA 5273, SA

Postcode 5268 and postcode 5273 are two South Australian areas with very different scales and social profiles. Postcode 5268 is more diverse and older, with 20.5% of people aged 65 and over and 17.6% born overseas. In contrast, postcode 5273 is sparsely populated and far less diverse, with only 9.8% of residents aged 65 and over and just 3.6% born overseas. Postcode 5273 also has a much higher share of people with Year 12 qualifications (60.7%) and higher-earning households, while postcode 5268 has more full-time workers and better access to parks and public transport.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, such as a typical resident age of 41 and very similar household sizes. Both areas are mostly car-dependent, though postcode 5268 is slightly more so. Since 2016, some gaps have widened, such as the difference in overseas births and the number of people living alone, who are far more common in postcode 5268.
