Adelaide Wayville

Adelaide and Wayville are neighbouring areas in South Australia that offer very different ways of living. Adelaide is a highly international hub where 51.8% of people were born overseas and 42.4% use another language at home. It is an area of small homes and high mobility, with 63.8% of households renting and 45.3% of people living alone. In contrast, Wayville is more established and family-oriented; 54.3% of homes are for couples with children and 28.9% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. Wayville also has far more space, with 55.6% of homes having three or more bedrooms compared to just 20.5% in Adelaide.

Everyday life in both places is defined by excellent accessibility, as every home in both areas is within a 15-minute walk of parks, groceries, and public transport. This shared convenience is seen alongside a clear divide in transport habits, as 37.7% of Adelaide homes have no car compared to only 8.7% in Wayville. While both areas have seen a high number of people move in over the last five years, the gap in overseas arrivals remains far higher in Adelaide.
