5521, SA 5523, SA

Postcode 5523 and postcode 5521 are two nearby areas in South Australia, though postcode 5521 is sparsely populated with only 147 residents. The two differ most in their local amenities and home types; postcode 5523 has far more large homes with three or more bedrooms (82.0% compared to 70.5%) and is much more walkable, with more homes within reach of parks, schools, and health services. Postcode 5523 also has a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (12.6% versus 0.0%) and a much higher rate of volunteering at 36.8%.

Daily life is quite similar in both places, as residents share the same typical age of 49 and very similar levels of overall advantage. Both areas are also dominated by separate houses and have very few people who use public transport to get to work. While they share these traits, some gaps are shifting; for example, the share of people living alone is now far higher in postcode 5521 (52.5%) than in postcode 5523 (30.2%), a trend that has flipped since 2011.
