Hindmarsh Kingston

Hindmarsh and Kingston are nearby South Australian areas with a few stark differences. Hindmarsh is a very walkable hub with a drive time to the city of only 13 minutes, and far more people use a language other than English at home (23.2% compared to 8.5% in Kingston). Kingston is much more suburban, where separate houses are far more common at 89.3%, and 55.2% of residents have no religion, which is far higher than the 39.6% in Hindmarsh.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in some ways, while other gaps have shifted. The difference in the share of people with no religion has widened, but the gap in people born overseas has remained steady. Both areas are similar in other respects, with almost identical shares of people aged 65 and over and very similar typical weekly incomes. While Hindmarsh has a higher share of renters, both areas are very walkable by national standards.
