5470, SA 5523, SA

Postcode 5523 and postcode 5470 are two nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 5523 is more family-oriented, with 19.8% of its people being children under 15 and a higher share of unpaid childcare (27.8%). It is also more walkable, with 43.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 33.7% near a school. In contrast, postcode 5470 is sparsely populated and largely residential, with a much higher typical age of 56. Homes there are more likely to be owned outright (58.3%), and the area has a higher standing for education and job skills.

The gap in the number of children has widened significantly since 2011, growing from a 0.2% difference to 10.9%. Despite this, the two areas share a similar overall level of advantage and almost identical typical weekly household incomes, around $1,100. They also have a similar share of people aged 65 and over (about 26%) and both see very few people using public transport to commute.
