5473, SA 5490, SA

Postcode 5473 and postcode 5490 are two nearby areas in South Australia, but they differ sharply in their social and economic profiles. Postcode 5473 has a much higher share of one-parent families (18.3%) and people living alone (37.3%), while postcode 5490 is far more likely to have adults working or looking for work (65.9% compared to 46.3% in postcode 5473). This gap extends to their general standing, as postcode 5490 is far more advantaged in terms of access to money, resources, and job skills.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart. The gap in the number of people living alone and the share of one-parent families has widened, and postcode 5490 has seen a much larger increase in full-time employment. Despite these diverging trends, they remain alike in some ways; for example, they have almost identical shares of people providing unpaid care (12.9%) and both have only two public transport routes.
