5290, SA 5291, SA

Postcode 5290 and postcode 5291 are two nearby areas in South Australia with very different profiles. Postcode 5290 is a more densely populated place where renting is common (32.5%) and many people live alone (34.9%). It has much larger schools and far more public transport options, but also reports a much higher rate of recorded offences. In contrast, postcode 5291 is a more spacious area where most people live in separate houses (97%) and a higher share of households earn $3,000 or more a week (19.9%).

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has widened in several ways. The difference in rental rates, the number of people living alone, and the share of high-income households have all grown. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain alike in several ways, including their similar shares of children under 15 and a nearly identical typical weekly rent of $220.
