Clapham Glenalta

Glenalta and Clapham are neighbouring areas in South Australia, but they offer very different living environments. Glenalta is much more walkable, with 70.9% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and far more people within a short walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Clapham is far more car-dependent. There is also a stark difference in safety and crime; recorded offences are far higher in Clapham, and the crime rate there has risen by 51.7% over the last five years, while in Glenalta it fell by 19.2%.

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, particularly regarding crime. Despite this, they share many core similarities. Both have a typical resident age of 42 and the same percentage of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. They also have nearly identical shares of children under 15 and people in de facto relationships. While Glenalta has a slightly higher share of people aged 65 and over, both areas sit well above the national figure for people with no religion.
