Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 3.7 km apart · Belair profile · Mitcham profile

Belair Mitcham

Mitcham (SA) and Belair are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Mitcham (SA) is more connected, with 96% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and nearly half of residents having health services within 15 minutes. In contrast, Belair is more car-dependent, with only 0.6% of homes near health services and a much higher share of separate houses at 89.3%. Belair also has a distinct First Nations profile, with 11.5% of people speaking a First Nations language and typical First Nations personal incomes far higher at $1,774, compared to $974 in Mitcham (SA).

These two areas share a very similar economic and social profile, with almost identical typical household incomes and shares of people born overseas. However, some gaps are widening; Belair has become noticeably older than Mitcham (SA), and the difference in the number of separate houses has grown since 2011. While Mitcham (SA) has more people using another language at home, both areas sit well above the national figure for typical resident age.
