Charles Sturt Prospect

Charles Sturt and Prospect are neighbouring areas in Adelaide with very different profiles. Prospect has a much more highly educated population, with 40.4% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 26.1% in Charles Sturt. This is consistent with Prospect's higher typical weekly household income of $2,005, which is well higher than the $1,563 seen in Charles Sturt. Charles Sturt is the larger of the two, with far more schools and a population that is noticeably older, with a typical age of 41 compared to 37 in Prospect.

These gaps in income and education have generally widened since 2011. However, the two areas remain alike in several ways, including the share of people born overseas and typical weekly rents. They also share similar housing styles, with detached houses making up about 66% of homes in both places. While Charles Sturt is further from the city and has a higher proportion of people with long-term health conditions, both areas have a similar share of people who speak little or no English.
