Kingston Mayo

Mayo and Kingston are nearby South Australian areas with very different layouts. Kingston is very walkable, with 94.6% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and more people born overseas (22.5%). In contrast, Mayo is mostly car-dependent, where the walk to the nearest transport stop takes far longer (82 minutes compared to 3 minutes in Kingston). Mayo also has a noticeably older population, with a typical resident aged 46 and 24.4% of people aged 65 and over.

Both areas are very similar in the typical weekly income of their households, which sits around $1,450. While they share similar family incomes and school enrolments, the gap in their age profiles has widened since 2011. Mayo also has a much higher share of homes owned outright (39.1% compared to 30.1% in Kingston) and more people who volunteer their time, though this difference has narrowed slightly over the years.
