5272, SA 5275, SA

Postcode 5275 and postcode 5272 are two rural South Australian areas with very different demographics. Postcode 5275 is much older, with a typical resident aged 53 and 32.4% of people aged 65 and over, which is far above the national figure. This is consistent with a much higher rate of long-term health conditions (35.3%) compared to postcode 5272 (23.5%). In contrast, postcode 5272 has more people working or looking for work (68.2% versus 54.5%) and a higher share of people who completed Year 12 (47.1% compared to 34.5%).

The age gap between these two places has widened since 2011, with the typical resident in postcode 5275 now nine years older than those in postcode 5272. Despite this, the areas share several common traits, including very similar rates of unemployment and a high prevalence of detached houses. Both areas are also largely car-dependent, as virtually no one in either place commutes by public transport.
