5418, SA 5421, SA

Postcode 5421 and postcode 5418 are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Postcode 5421 is much older, with 28.9% of people aged 65 and over compared to 15.2% in postcode 5418. A far higher share of people in postcode 5421 live alone (52.6% versus 24.5%) and more are in de facto relationships (20.9% versus 9.2%). In contrast, postcode 5418 has a much larger share of people who finished Year 12 (47.0% versus 26.2%) and more people caring for children unpaid (30.7% versus 15.2%).

Everyday life is similar in both places, as both are mostly car-dependent and have the same number of public transport stops. Neither area has any residents who speak a language other than English at home, and no one in either place earns $2,000 or more per week. While they share these commonalities, some gaps have grown since 2016, such as the difference in the number of people living alone and the share of residents who are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.
