5640, SA 5642, SA

Postcode 5640 and postcode 5642 are nearby rural areas in South Australia, though they offer very different lifestyles. Postcode 5640 is more developed, with a somewhat walkable layout where many homes are within 15 minutes of schools, health services, and groceries. It is also an older community, with 27.2% of people aged 65 or over. In contrast, postcode 5642 is car-dependent and more sparsely populated, with only 14.5% of residents aged 65 or over. Postcode 5642 also has a higher share of managers and people working from home (28.6%), while postcode 5640 has a higher share of retail workers.

These two areas are almost identical in the share of people born overseas, at around 4.8%. They also share similar levels of high earners and a near-total reliance on cars for commuting. While they are similar in these ways, other gaps are shifting; the difference in the number of older residents has narrowed since 2011, while the gap in the number of people who have moved recently has widened.
