Adelaide Boothby

Adelaide and Boothby are two nearby areas in South Australia with very different characters. Adelaide is a multicultural hub where 36.8% of people were born overseas and 35.8% use a language other than English at home. It is a more mobile and transient place, with 41.4% of households renting and nearly half of all residents moving in the last five years. In contrast, Boothby is older and more stable, with a typical resident aged 42 compared to 36 in Adelaide. Boothby also has a higher share of larger homes, with 70.4% having three or more bedrooms.

These two areas are very similar when it comes to money and family life, with almost identical typical weekly household incomes and shares of children under 15. While they share these commonalities, other gaps are shifting. The difference in cultural diversity has grown since 2011, and the gap in the age of residents has also widened. However, the difference in housing is narrowing, as the gap in the share of separate houses has shrunk over the last decade.
