Salisbury East Salisbury North

Salisbury North and Salisbury East are neighbouring suburbs in Adelaide with similar total populations. Salisbury North is a younger and more diverse area, where 28.7% of people use a language other than English at home and 22% of residents are children under 15. It has a higher share of renters at 34.5% and a much longer walk to the nearest transport stop, which takes typically 28 minutes. In contrast, Salisbury East is older, with a typical resident aged 40, and has a higher share of homes owned outright at 32.6%. It is also more walkable, with 74.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries.

The gap in the number of people using another language at home has widened since 2011, now sitting at 10.2 percentage points.
