5420, SA 5490, SA

Postcode 5490 and postcode 5420 are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Postcode 5490 is more family-oriented, with children under 15 making up 24.0% of the population, compared to 12.8% in postcode 5420. There is also a significant gap in how people work; 29.4% of people in postcode 5490 work from home, while no one in postcode 5420 does. Additionally, postcode 5490 has a higher share of residents with a bachelor degree or higher at 15.2%, while postcode 5420 sits at 4.5%.

Both areas are very similar in that they have almost no residents born overseas and the same number of people per home (2.6). This commonality is seen alongside the fact that neither area has a high share of people who speak a language other than English at home, which is consistent with the national figure. Over time, some gaps have shifted; the share of renters is now far higher in postcode 5420, and the gap in the number of children under 15 has widened since 2016.
