Blanchetown Paisley

Blanchetown and Paisley are two small South Australian areas with very different populations. Blanchetown is much older, with a typical resident aged 58 and 36.1% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Paisley is younger, with 26% of its residents being children under 15. These two places also differ in their housing and lifestyles; 15.9% of Blanchetown households rent, while Paisley has no renters and a much higher share of homes owned outright at 56.7%.

Local lifestyles have diverged as the gap in working from home has widened, with 27% of Paisley residents working from home compared to just 4.2% in Blanchetown. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways. They share nearly identical typical weekly family incomes, around $1,300, and both have a very low share of adults with a bachelor degree. They also both lack homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
