5431, SA 5481, SA

Postcode 5431 and postcode 5481 are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Postcode 5431 has a younger feel, with a higher share of children under 15 (15.3% compared to 10.4%) and more homes with three or more bedrooms (79.8% versus 71.1%). Access to basic services also differs; postcode 5431 has more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (23.4% versus 0.0%) and schools (15.3% versus 0.0%). In contrast, postcode 5481 is more walkable for groceries and parks, and has a much higher share of people reporting no religion (43.6% compared to 33.4%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted apart in several key ways. The gap in the typical age of residents has widened, with people now noticeably older in postcode 5481. The difference in the share of people born overseas has also grown. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain very similar in other respects. They share almost identical typical weekly household incomes, the same level of English language proficiency, and nearly the same percentage of people living with a long-term health condition.
