Edinburgh Salisbury North

Salisbury North and Edinburgh are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Salisbury North is a large residential hub where the typical resident is 35, and children under 15 make up 20.8% of the population. In contrast, Edinburgh is sparsely populated, with a much younger typical age of 23 and no children under 15. The two areas differ sharply in income and employment; the typical weekly personal income in Edinburgh is $1,292, far higher than the $540 seen in Salisbury North. This is mirrored in education, with 81.9% of Edinburgh residents completing Year 12 compared to 37.3% in Salisbury North.

Everyday life in both places shares some common ground, as they have almost identical school advantage scores and a similar share of people earning over $2,000 a week. While they are close by, they feel different in practice. For example, 95.2% of people in Edinburgh have served in the Defence Force, while only 2.4% have in Salisbury North. This likely explains why Edinburgh has a much higher share of people in public administration and safety work. Meanwhile, Salisbury North has far more people born overseas (27.4%) and more people who use another language at home (25.2%).
