5495, SA 5523, SA

Postcode 5523 and postcode 5495 are two rural South Australian areas with very different household profiles. Postcode 5523 is much more family-oriented, with 19.8% of people being children and a far higher share of homes having three or more bedrooms (82.0%). This is consistent with the fact that 27.8% of adults there provide unpaid childcare. In contrast, postcode 5495 has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 59 compared to 49 in postcode 5523, and far higher recorded offence rates, including burglary and theft.

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, such as typical weekly rents of $189 and an almost identical share of people who do not identify with a religion. However, the gaps between them are widening in several areas. The difference in the typical age of residents has grown to 10 years since 2011, and the gap in Year 12 completion has also increased, with postcode 5523 now 11 percentage points higher than postcode 5495.
