Cavan Mawson Lakes

Mawson Lakes and Cavan (SA) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Mawson Lakes is a large, very walkable hub where 42.5% of people were born overseas and 35.2% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. It is a wealthier area, with a typical weekly household income of $1,940. In contrast, Cavan (SA) is sparsely populated and far more industrial in feel; its residents are far younger, with a typical age of 17, and the typical weekly household income is much lower at $899.

The divide between these two places is widening in terms of how people move and live. While both areas have similar transit times to the city, Mawson Lakes is very walkable and has a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. Cavan (SA) is only somewhat walkable, though it has a far higher number of public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people than its neighbour.
