Edinburgh Elizabeth South

Elizabeth South and Edinburgh are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different profiles. Elizabeth South is a residential hub where 20.9% of the population are children, while Edinburgh is sparsely populated and has no children. There is a stark gap in education and income; 81.9% of Edinburgh residents finished Year 12 compared to 31.3% in Elizabeth South. This is reflected in typical weekly personal incomes, which are far higher in Edinburgh at $1,292 compared to $457 in Elizabeth South.
