Elizabeth Downs Elizabeth Park

Elizabeth Downs and Elizabeth Park are neighbouring areas in South Australia with similar population sizes. There are stark differences in local access; while 97.2% of Elizabeth Downs homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, only 19.8% of Elizabeth Park homes have the same access. Elizabeth Park is more culturally diverse, with 22.1% of people using a language other than English at home and a higher share of overseas-born residents (26.9% compared to 19.8%). Crime rates are significantly higher in Elizabeth Downs, particularly for motor vehicle theft and robberies.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, as they share nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,000 and a similar proportion of children and seniors. Both areas also see about a quarter of their adults caring for children unpaid. While Elizabeth Park has seen a larger drop in crime over the last five years, the two areas remain alike in their high shares of detached houses and typical family incomes that sit well below the national figure.
