Postcode comparison ≈ 247 km apart · 5722, SA profile · 5723, SA profile

5722, SA 5723, SA

Postcode 5723 and postcode 5722 are both rural South Australian areas, though they differ in scale and demographics. Postcode 5723 is more diverse and younger, with a typical resident aged 46 and 19.6% of people using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 5722 is far older, with a typical resident aged 57. This older population is reflected in health and housing trends, as long-term health conditions are far more common in postcode 5722 (42.4%) and more homes are owned outright (56.5%).

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several key measures. The age gap has flipped, with postcode 5722 now far older, and the gap in home ownership and renting has widened significantly. Despite these shifting trends, they share a similar level of overall disadvantage and have nearly identical typical weekly rents, around $150 to $160. Both areas also lack any public transport stops, making them entirely car-dependent.
