5720, SA 5725, SA

Postcode 5725 and postcode 5720 are two very different South Australian areas. Postcode 5725 is a much younger place where 25.5% of people are children under 15, and the typical resident is only 31. It is also wealthier, with a typical weekly family income of $3,467 and 49.1% of households earning over $3,000 a week. In contrast, postcode 5720 is sparsely populated and largely non-residential, with an older typical age of 40 and far fewer children. This area has a much higher proportion of people living alone at 55.6% and a higher share of former Defence Force members at 12.9%.

Both areas sit near the national average for overall advantage, though they differ in other ways. They share similar rates of unemployment and a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While both have no public transport stops, the gap in typical incomes has widened since 2011. At the same time, the gap in the number of recent overseas arrivals has narrowed, as postcode 5725 has a far higher share at 23.7% compared to none in postcode 5720.
