Aldinga Beach Sellicks Beach

Aldinga Beach and Sellicks Beach are neighbouring coastal areas in South Australia. Aldinga Beach is the larger of the two and is much more walkable, with about half of its homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, and schools. In contrast, no homes in Sellicks Beach have these services within a 15-minute walk. Aldinga Beach also has a far higher share of renters at 27.5%, compared to 17.3% in Sellicks Beach, and a far larger First Nations population.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, with almost identical shares of people born overseas (around 20%) and those who have a bachelor degree or higher (about 14%). Both areas are also very similar in the number of people who volunteer or have served in the Defence Force. While they share many social traits, their local environments differ, as Aldinga Beach has far more public transport stops and a higher rate of theft and assault.
