5461, SA 5510, SA

Postcode 5461 and postcode 5510 are two nearby South Australian areas with very different housing and community profiles. Postcode 5510 is sparsely populated and sees far more people in de facto relationships (21.0% compared to 10.4%) and a much higher share of homes owned outright (56.3% versus 40.5%). In contrast, postcode 5461 has far more homes with three or more bedrooms (79.4% versus 60.4%) and a higher proportion of renters (23.2% compared to 10.4%).

These differences in home ownership have become more pronounced, as the gap for outright ownership has widened significantly since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share very similar levels of typical weekly household and personal incomes, and about the same share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. Both areas also have a very low share of people who speak little or no English.
