Adelaide City Tea Tree Gully

Tea Tree Gully and Adelaide City are nearby but very different parts of the region. Tea Tree Gully is a family-oriented area where 17.1% of people are children, and most residents live in separate houses, with 86.8% of homes having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Adelaide City is a transient hub where 44.4% of people live alone and 59.5% rent their homes. Education and diversity also differ sharply; 45.5% of adults in Adelaide City hold a bachelor degree or higher, and 45.4% were born overseas, compared to 21.0% and 24.5% in Tea Tree Gully.

Since 2011, some of these gaps have widened while others have slightly closed. The difference in the share of university-qualified adults and overseas-born residents has grown, but the gap in typical age has narrowed by one year. Despite these shifts, both areas remain very similar in some ways, such as having almost identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $780 and a similar proportion of First Nations people.
