Bull Creek Meadows

Meadows and Bull Creek (SA) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Meadows is a more active hub where 20.9% of people are children and 61.5% of the workforce is employed full-time. It is also more accessible, with a somewhat walkable score of 4.8 and many homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and groceries. In contrast, Bull Creek (SA) is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a far older typical resident aged 51. It has a much higher share of people born overseas (25.2%) and those living alone (29.3%).

These two areas have tracked differently over time, with Meadows seeing a much higher share of people moving in during the last five years (37.0%) compared to Bull Creek (SA) (19.1%). Despite these diverging trends, they share some similarities, such as nearly identical rates of volunteers and a strong preference for large homes, with about 90% of dwellings in both areas having three or more bedrooms.
