Dawesley Nairne

Nairne and Dawesley are neighbouring areas in South Australia, but they offer very different lifestyles. Nairne is more developed and connected, with a walkability score of 4.5 (somewhat walkable) and 43.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or groceries. In contrast, Dawesley is car-dependent with a score of 0.9, where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of those same services. Housing also differs, with households renting far more common in Nairne (20.7%) compared to Dawesley (2.7%), while outright home ownership is far higher in Dawesley at 35.1%.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining nearly identical shares of children under 15 and people aged 65 and over. They share very similar typical weekly personal incomes, around $860 to $900, and have almost the same rate of volunteers. While Nairne has more public transport departures, both areas sit well below the national figure for the share of people born overseas.
