Marion Onkaparinga

Onkaparinga and Marion are nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Marion is more urban and diverse, with 20.9% of people using a language other than English at home and 16.6% arriving from overseas recently. It also has a more highly qualified workforce, where 28.0% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Onkaparinga is more residential and spread out; 89.0% of its homes are separate houses, and it takes far longer to reach the city, with a typical drive time of 47 minutes compared to 19 minutes in Marion.

Both areas are very similar when it comes to the number of people per home, which is 2.4 in each.
