5603, SA 5640, SA

Postcode 5640 and postcode 5603 are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Postcode 5640 is more walkable (somewhat walkable) than postcode 5603 (mostly car-dependent), with more homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, health services, and parks. In contrast, postcode 5603 has a far higher crime rate across the board, including recorded offences and property damage. Other key differences include a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals in postcode 5603 (14.8% compared to 0.0% in postcode 5640) and a higher proportion of seniors in postcode 5640, where 27.2% of people are aged 65 or over.

Both areas sit around the national figure for the share of people who identify as having no religion. They also share very similar typical weekly incomes, around $1,100, and almost identical proportions of children and people using other languages at home. While some gaps are closing, such as the difference in people in de facto relationships, other divides have grown since 2011, including the gap in high weekly earnings and the number of older residents.
