Adelaide Hills Prospect

Adelaide Hills and Prospect are nearby areas with very different layouts. Adelaide Hills is a spacious region where separate houses are far more common, with 95.9% of homes being detached compared to 66.2% in Prospect. This space is reflected in the homes; 85.3% of Adelaide Hills homes have three or more bedrooms, which is far higher than the 64.5% in Prospect. Prospect is much more multicultural, with 28.8% of people born overseas and 28.4% using another language at home, while these figures are far lower in Adelaide Hills at 16.7% and 5.5% respectively.

The gap in the number of people born overseas has widened since 2011.

They also track closely on health and employment, with nearly the same share of people reporting a mental health condition and similar numbers of residents who have served in the Defence Force.
