5660, SA 5690, SA

Postcode 5690 and postcode 5660 are two very different South Australian areas located over 400km apart. Postcode 5690 is a larger community where 30.9% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, compared with 7.7% in postcode 5660. Postcode 5690 is also much younger in spirit, with 20.4% of its people being children under 15, while that figure is just 7.7% in postcode 5660. In contrast, postcode 5660 has a much higher share of people who finished Year 12 (53.3% compared to 33.6%) and a larger proportion of adults working or looking for work at 75.8%.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in typical age has widened to 9 years, and the difference in the share of people who report no religion has grown significantly. However, they remain similar in some areas, such as their typical weekly personal incomes, which are nearly the same at around $730. While both are mostly car-dependent, postcode 5690 is slightly more walkable and has a few more transport stops.
