5472, SA 5491, SA

Postcode 5491 and postcode 5472 are two nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 5491 is more developed, with 53% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and a typical family income of $1,700. In contrast, postcode 5472 is sparsely populated and more isolated; no homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries, or health services, and the typical family income is much lower at $1,062. Postcode 5491 also has far more large homes, with 81.7% having three or more bedrooms, compared to 66.7% in postcode 5472.

Both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage. They share a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and an identical lack of people who speak little or no English. However, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in typical family income has grown from $231 to $638 since 2011. Meanwhile, the gap in people working from home has narrowed over the same period.
