Unley Victor Harbor

Unley and Victor Harbor are very different South Australian areas. Unley is a wealthier, more diverse hub where 46.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and typical weekly household income is $1,999. In contrast, Victor Harbor is far older, with a typical resident aged 60 and 42.2% of people aged 65 and over. Residents in Victor Harbor are also more likely to own their homes outright, with 50.2% of dwellings owned this way, compared to 36.1% in Unley. Unley has a much higher share of people using another language at home (19.4%) than Victor Harbor (3.4%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. Typical incomes, the share of university-qualified adults, and the number of high-earning households have all shifted further apart. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas are still remarkably similar in a few ways; about 48% of people in each area report no religion, and both have a similar number of schools for every 1,000 children.
