5604, SA 5631, SA

Postcode 5631 and postcode 5604 are both rural South Australian areas, but they have very different populations. Postcode 5631 is much younger and more family-focused, with 22.2% of people being children under 15 and a typical resident aged 41. In contrast, postcode 5604 is far older, with a typical age of 56 and only 7.8% children. This gap in age is reflected in the homes and incomes; postcode 5631 has a far higher typical weekly household income of $1,587 compared to $850 in postcode 5604, and more large homes with three or more bedrooms.
