5609, SA 5611, SA

Postcode 5609 and postcode 5611 are nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 5609 is a younger area where the typical resident is 33 and many more people have finished Year 12 (54.2% compared to 23.2% in postcode 5611). It is also wealthier, with typical weekly household incomes of $1,970, while postcode 5611 sits much lower at $584. In contrast, postcode 5611 is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 54 and a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (25.6% versus 12.0% in postcode 5609).

These two areas have drifted further apart in their workforce trends since 2011, with the gap in adults working or looking for work widening to 41 percentage points. Despite this, they share some common ground, such as nearly identical rates of people doing 15 or more hours of unpaid housework. Both areas also have very similar terrain, though postcode 5609 is much more likely to have homes within a 15-minute walk of a school.
