Adelaide Port Adelaide Enfield

Port Adelaide Enfield and Adelaide are neighbouring areas with very different housing and family profiles. Port Adelaide Enfield is more family-oriented, with 16.8% of people being children under 15 and 72.7% of homes having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Adelaide is dominated by smaller dwellings, where 56.9% of homes are flats or apartments and 44.4% of people live alone. Adelaide also has a much more highly qualified workforce, with 45.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 25.7% in Port Adelaide Enfield.

The difference in the share of people living alone and those without a motor vehicle has grown, while the gap in Year 12 completion has narrowed. Despite these shifts, they remain similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,470. Both areas also share a similar proportion of residents aged 65 and over and a similar percentage of people who use a language other than English at home.
