Jervois Riverglen

Jervois and Riverglen are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Jervois has more residents and better local access, with some homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or park, whereas Riverglen has none. There are significant financial differences between them; typical weekly household income is well higher in Riverglen ($1,687) compared to Jervois ($1,284). Rent is also far higher in Jervois, where the typical weekly cost is $243, compared to $125 in Riverglen.

These two areas have seen the gap in typical weekly household income widen since 2011.
