5690, SA 5723, SA

Postcode 5690 and postcode 5723 are two sparsely populated areas of South Australia located nearly 400km apart. There are stark differences in their populations and homes; postcode 5690 has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 30.9% and more large homes, with 74% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 5723 has a far higher share of people born overseas at 23.8% and more people living alone, at 52.4%. Postcode 5690 also sees more people caring for children unpaid (27.9%) and has a far higher typical weekly household income of $1,357 compared to $766 in postcode 5723.

The gap in typical weekly household income has widened since 2011, reflecting a growing divide between the two areas.

Both areas also sit below the national figure for overall advantage, though they have a similar share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
