Burnside Prospect

Burnside and Prospect are neighbouring areas in Adelaide with very different housing and age profiles. Residents in Burnside are noticeably older, with a typical age of 44 compared to 37 in Prospect, and a well higher share of seniors (23.4% versus 14.9%). This is consistent with a higher rate of home ownership; 42.8% of Burnside homes are owned outright, while 34.4% of Prospect homes are rented. Burnside also has far more students and schools, with an average school size of 1,025 compared to 489 in Prospect.

Since 2011, the gap in typical age between the two has narrowed slightly, while the difference in rental rates has widened. Despite these trends, the two areas share several common traits. They have very similar levels of typical weekly household income, around $2,000, and nearly the same share of people using another language at home. Both areas are also far above the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
