Gifford Hill Riverglen

Gifford Hill and Riverglen are both sparsely populated, non-residential areas in South Australia. They differ most in the age of their residents and the cost of living. The typical person in Gifford Hill is far older at 52, compared to just 32 in Riverglen. This difference extends to the finances of the two areas; typical weekly incomes are well higher in Gifford Hill at $2,125, while typical weekly rents are far higher there too, at $320 compared to $125 in Riverglen.

These two neighbours have remained very similar in their lack of infrastructure, as both are car-dependent and have no homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, school or shop. While they share these traits, the gap in typical incomes has widened since 2011. Both areas sit near the national figure for family income, which is around $1,900 a week.
