5495, SA 5540, SA

Postcode 5540 and postcode 5495 are nearby South Australian areas with very different characters. Postcode 5540 is a more populous and walkable area where 31.1% of households rent and 10.3% of residents arrived recently from overseas. In contrast, postcode 5495 is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much older population; the typical resident is 59, which is far older than the typical person in postcode 5540, who is 44. Home ownership also differs sharply, as 54.6% of homes in postcode 5495 are owned outright compared to 33.5% in postcode 5540.
