5603, SA 5606, SA

Postcode 5606 and postcode 5603 are two South Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 5606 is more populous, with 14,459 people, and has a much higher rental rate of 33.8% and a higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 6.5%. In contrast, postcode 5603 is sparsely populated with just 422 people, where homes are far more likely to be owned outright (56.4%) and more people work from home (19.6%). Crime rates are also significantly higher in postcode 5606, particularly for theft and burglary.

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged further in several key ways.

Despite these shifts, they share a similar age structure, with about 18% of people under 15 and 21% aged 65 or over in both areas.
