Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 11 km apart · Jervois profile · Monteith profile

Jervois Monteith

Jervois and Monteith are both small, rural South Australian areas where every home is a separate house. Jervois is younger and more family-oriented, with 22.5% of its people being children under 15, compared to 14.4% in Monteith. Life in Jervois is also more connected to local services, as it has far more public transport stops and more homes within a 15-minute walk of parks and schools. In contrast, Monteith has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 48 compared to 39 in Jervois, and a higher share of people who own their homes outright (56.8% versus 38.5%).

These two areas share a very similar economic profile, with nearly identical typical weekly household incomes and the same average number of people per home. They both rely entirely on cars for commuting, as 0% of residents use public transport to get to work. While they are similar in these respects, they differ in their backgrounds; Monteith has a higher share of people born overseas and those who use a language other than English at home.
