5434, SA 5725, SA

Postcode 5725 and postcode 5434 are two very different South Australian areas. Postcode 5725 is a young, high-earning community where the typical resident is 31 and 25.5% of people are children. It is a wealthy area with typical weekly household incomes of $3,140 and a high share of renters at 67.1%. In contrast, postcode 5434 is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 51 and 28.1% of residents aged 65 and over. Homes here are more often owned outright (40.4%), and the typical weekly household income is much lower at $1,220.

Since 2011, the two areas have seen some of their biggest gaps narrow, such as the difference in typical ages and the share of children. Despite these shifts, other divides have grown, including a widening gap in volunteering and the number of people who own their homes outright. Both areas share a similar level of English proficiency and a similar share of adults with university degrees. They are also equally reliant on cars, as neither area has any public transport stops.
