Dry Creek Wingfield

Wingfield and Dry Creek (SA) are neighbouring areas with very different resident profiles. Wingfield is much older, with a typical resident aged 47 and 20.2% of people aged 65 or over. It is also more culturally diverse, with 54.8% of people using a language other than English at home and 46.4% born overseas. In contrast, Dry Creek (SA) is much younger, with a typical age of 35 and a higher share of children under 15 (15.9%).

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they share a 14-minute drive to the city, similar typical weekly rents around $270, and almost identical unemployment rates of about 10%. However, their local layouts differ; Wingfield has more separate houses and better street connectivity, while Dry Creek (SA) has far more people within walking distance of public transport. The two areas have both seen their crime rates fall over the last five years, though the drop was far sharper in Dry Creek (SA).
