Golden Grove Sampson Flat

Golden Grove and Sampson Flat are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different layouts. Golden Grove is a larger population centre that is somewhat walkable, with 81.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a typical school size of 629 students. In contrast, Sampson Flat is sparsely populated and car-dependent, where 100% of homes are separate houses and the typical resident is more likely to have a bachelor degree, at 32.5% compared to 19.9% in Golden Grove.

Similarities exist in their typical family incomes and the share of people caring for children unpaid. The gaps in their infrastructure and housing are stark, as Golden Grove has far more public transport stops and rental properties, while home ownership is far higher in Sampson Flat. These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with the gap in people working from home widening, as 20.8% of Sampson Flat residents now work from home compared to 9.4% in Golden Grove.
