Adelaide Tea Tree Gully

Tea Tree Gully and Adelaide are nearby South Australian areas with very different lifestyles. Tea Tree Gully is a family-oriented area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 41, and children under 15 make up 17.3% of the population. It is dominated by separate houses, with 89.1% of homes being detached and 87.4% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Adelaide is a high-density hub where 56.9% of people live in flats or apartments and 44.4% live alone. Adelaide is also much more diverse and highly qualified; 45.4% of residents were born overseas and 45.5% hold a bachelor degree or higher.

Both areas sit near the national figure for their overall advantage score. They also share a similar typical weekly personal income of around $780. While they track similarly in these areas, other gaps are shifting. The difference in the share of people born overseas has widened since 2011, as has the gap in home ownership and the number of large houses.
