5720, SA 5723, SA

Postcode 5723 is more diverse, with 19.6% of people using another language at home and 15.3% arriving from overseas recently. It also has a much older population, with 25.7% aged 65 and over. In contrast, postcode 5720 has significantly higher incomes; the typical weekly household earns $1,761 compared to $766 in postcode 5723.
