Salisbury East Golden Grove

Salisbury East and Golden Grove are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different profiles. Golden Grove is generally more affluent, with a typical weekly family income of $2,192 compared to $1,636 in Salisbury East. This difference is reflected in education and skills, where 56% of Golden Grove residents completed Year 12 compared to 45.5% in Salisbury East. The two areas also differ in their layouts; Salisbury East is more connected, with 70.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and a shorter 2-minute walk to the nearest transport stop, while Golden Grove residents face a much longer 24-minute walk to reach a stop.

This gap in typical family income has widened since 2011, though the difference in Year 12 completion has narrowed.
