Penfield and Edinburgh are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different populations. Penfield is a much older community where the typical resident is 70 and 64.7% are seniors. In contrast, Edinburgh is far younger, with a typical age of 23 and 95.2% of residents having served in the Defence Force. Penfield has a much higher share of people born overseas at 39.6% and a higher typical weekly personal income for First Nations residents ($2,250). Edinburgh has far higher typical personal incomes ($1,292) and typical weekly household incomes ($1,350), and is far more likely to have residents who completed Year 12.
