5603, SA 5605, SA

Postcode 5605 and postcode 5603 are two rural South Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 5605 is far older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 37.3% of the population aged 65 and over. In contrast, postcode 5603 has a younger typical age of 47 and far more people caring for children unpaid (35.2% compared to 22.1% in postcode 5605). Other key differences include a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals in postcode 5603 (14.8% versus 3.6%) and a far higher rate of recorded offences in postcode 5603.

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, as they have almost identical typical weekly personal incomes and very similar shares of people born overseas. They also both have very low use of public transport. However, the gaps between them are shifting; for example, the difference in typical age has widened since 2011, and the gap in the number of people working from home has flipped, with postcode 5603 now far higher.
