Port Adelaide The Parks

The Parks and Port Adelaide are neighbouring areas in South Australia with distinct social profiles. The Parks is far more culturally diverse, with 48.2% of people born overseas and 56.5% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Port Adelaide is older, with a typical resident aged 41 compared to 36 in The Parks, and it is much more walkable, with 96.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to 58.3% in The Parks.

Both areas sit near the national figure for Year 12 completion, with The Parks at 58.8% and Port Adelaide at 51.2%.
