Campbelltown Playford

Playford and Campbelltown (SA) are two nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Campbelltown (SA) has a much more highly qualified population, with 32.4% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 8.4% in Playford. This gap in education is consistent with incomes; 19.6% of Campbelltown (SA) households earn $3,000 or more a week, while only 9.1% do in Playford. Playford has a far higher share of one-parent families (24.3% versus 13.2%) and a much larger proportion of people who report no religion (50.9% compared to 33.1%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who speak little or no English. They also share several everyday similarities, such as having about the same number of people per home and similar rates of full-time employment. However, the divide in lifestyle and access is growing; the gap in the share of people born overseas has widened since 2011, and the difference in high-income households has also increased.
