5720, SA 5724, SA

Postcode 5724 and postcode 5720 are both sparsely populated areas of South Australia. Postcode 5724 is far more multicultural, with 45% of people being recent arrivals from overseas and 27.4% using a language other than English at home. It also has a more qualified workforce, as 22.7% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 59.2% completed Year 12. In contrast, postcode 5720 is more reliant on detached houses, which make up 87.8% of homes, and has a higher share of renters at 45.6%.

Both areas share a very similar profile in terms of their age structure and overall advantage, with about 8.3% of people aged 65 and over in each. They also both lack local public transport, with no public transport stops per 1,000 people in either place. While they share these basic traits, they have diverged in other ways; for instance, the gap in people working from home has widened since 2011, and postcode 5724 has seen a growing lead in the share of adults with university degrees.
