Unley - Parkside Belair

Unley - Parkside and Belair are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Unley - Parkside is a high-density area where a walker's paradise score of 8.3 reflects its accessibility; 100% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school and 96.8% are near health services. In contrast, Belair is more car-dependent with a walkability score of 4.7, where 89.3% of homes are separate houses compared to 57.1% in Unley - Parkside. Unley - Parkside is also more transient and diverse, with 42.2% of residents moving in the last five years and 20.7% using a language other than English at home, while Belair has only 29.5% of people moving recently and 7.3% using another language.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some ways, with the gaps in renting and language diversity widening. However, other differences are shrinking; for example, the gap in typical resident age has narrowed from five years to three. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in a few key ways. They share almost identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $970 and typical family incomes of about $2,700, and both have a similar proportion of children under 15.
