Blackwood Aberfoyle Park

Blackwood and Aberfoyle Park are neighbouring suburbs in South Australia with similar population sizes. Blackwood is a wealthier and more highly qualified area, with 39.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 24.2% in Aberfoyle Park. This is reflected in the household income, as 30.7% of Blackwood homes earn $3,000 or more a week, far higher than the 19.7% in Aberfoyle Park. Blackwood also has better access to basics, with more homes within a 15-minute walk of both groceries and health services.
