Bowden Renown Park

Bowden and Renown Park are neighbouring areas in South Australia with similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in their housing and demographics. Bowden is a younger area where the typical resident is 32, and it is dominated by apartments and flats. It has a much higher typical weekly income of $1,056 and a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (47.1%). Renown Park is older, with a typical resident aged 37, and is mainly made up of separate houses. It has a much lower typical weekly income of $640 and a far higher share of people who use another language at home (45.5%).

These two areas have drifted apart in their crime trends since 2011, with the robbery and theft rates far higher in Bowden, while the assault rate is far higher in Renown Park. Despite this, they share an identical level of convenience; every home in both areas is within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, groceries, and public transport. They also have almost exactly the same typical monthly home-loan payments.
