Aldgate Longwood

Aldgate and Longwood (SA) are neighbouring areas in the Adelaide Hills, though they offer very different living experiences. Aldgate is a more developed hub where the typical weekly rent is far higher at $500, compared to $300 in Longwood (SA). It is much more accessible, rated as somewhat walkable with a higher share of people aged 65 and over (21.7% versus 10.2% in Longwood (SA)). In contrast, Longwood (SA) is car-dependent and has a higher proportion of children under 15 at 23.7%.

Both areas are very similar in their typical weekly incomes and the high share of residents with university degrees. They also share a strong culture of volunteering, with about 30% of people in each area giving their time. This shared community profile exists alongside a wide gap in local amenities; for example, Aldgate has many more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries, while in Longwood (SA), no homes are within that distance of these services.
