Glenside Parkside

Parkside (SA) and Glenside are neighbouring areas with very different social profiles. Parkside (SA) is a wealthier hub where 30.4% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 14.9% in Glenside. Parkside (SA) also has more detached houses (53.8% against 29.3% in Glenside) and a higher rate of adults working or looking for work (68.4% versus 51.8%). In contrast, Glenside is much more diverse, with 40% of people born overseas and a far higher share of residents who use a language other than English at home (36.4% against 21.0%).

Both areas are effectively identical in their accessibility, with every home within a 15-minute walk of a park, a school, and public transport. This shared layout is consistent with the high levels of education found in both places, as both are far above the national figure for bachelor degrees. While Glenside has a noticeably older population—with 28.1% aged 65 or over compared to 17.8% in Parkside (SA)—the two areas continue to share a similar level of home ownership, with 31.3% of homes in both areas owned outright.
