Burnside Marion

Marion and Burnside are two nearby areas in Greater Adelaide with very different profiles. Burnside is a wealthier area where 47.8% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 28.0% in Marion. This difference is reflected in typical weekly household incomes, which are well higher in Burnside at $2,069 compared to $1,557 in Marion. Burnside also has a higher proportion of homeowners who own their place outright (42.8% versus 29.9% in Marion) and residents who are noticeably older, with a typical age of 44 compared to 39 in Marion.

While the two areas have tracked differently since 2011, some gaps are widening and others are narrowing.
