5602, SA 5642, SA

Postcode 5602 and postcode 5642 are both rural areas in South Australia, but they differ sharply in age and amenity. Residents in postcode 5602 are far older, with a typical age of 51 and 28.5% of the population aged 65 and over. This area is also more convenient for daily needs; about half of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, and 40.6% are within a short walk of a school. In contrast, postcode 5642 is younger, with a typical age of 42, and is entirely car-dependent, as no homes are within a 15-minute walk of shops or schools.

Everyday life shares some common ground in both places, such as the fact that about 44% of people in each area have no religion. They also both have very high rates of volunteering compared to the national figure. While both are largely car-reliant, the gap in working habits is narrowing; postcode 5642 has a far higher share of people working from home at 28.6%, though this difference has shrunk since 2011.
