5462, SA 5520, SA

Postcode 5520 and postcode 5462 are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Postcode 5520 is far older, with a typical resident aged 52 compared to 42 in postcode 5462. There is also a significant gap in employment, as adults working or looking for work are far higher in postcode 5462 at 65.4%, while postcode 5520 is among the lowest at 44.3%. This is consistent with the lower share of people in postcode 5520 who finished Year 12, at 28.2% compared to 38.6% in postcode 5462.

Since 2011, the gap between these two places has generally widened. The difference in typical age has grown to 10 years, and the gap in employment rates has nearly doubled. Despite these shifts, they share some basic traits: both have almost no one using public transport for commuting and an identical share of people with no religion (around 46%). Both areas also sit well below the national figure for Year 12 completion.
