Adelaide Campbelltown

Campbelltown (SA) and Adelaide are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Campbelltown (SA) is a family-oriented area where 16.3% of people are children under 15, and most homes are separate houses with three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Adelaide is much younger and more transient, with a typical resident aged 32 and a high share of people living in flats or apartments. This difference is seen in the home lives of residents; 44.4% of people in Adelaide live alone, compared to 26.9% in Campbelltown (SA), while 26.9% of adults in Campbelltown (SA) provide unpaid childcare, far higher than the 11.9% in Adelaide.

The gap in housing ownership has narrowed since 2011, but the two areas share many other traits. Both have a similar proportion of people using a language other than English at home and nearly identical typical weekly household incomes. They also both have 14 schools and a similar share of people who have served in the Defence Force. While Adelaide has far more public transport options and a higher share of university degrees, both areas have tracked closely in their overall employment rates.
