Jervois Swanport

Jervois and Swanport are two nearby South Australian areas with very different economic profiles. Swanport is significantly wealthier, with a typical family income of $2,399 per week compared to $1,341 in Jervois. This gap is reflected in education and qualifications; 51.7% of Swanport residents completed Year 12, while that figure is much lower in Jervois at 33.2%. Jervois is more likely to have children, with 22.5% of its population under 15, and has a higher share of people working from home at 19.8%.

Everyday life in both areas is very similar in that all homes are separate houses and every single household owns a motor vehicle. They also share a similar lack of local services, as no homes in either area are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. While Jervois has more public transport stops and a higher number of walkable amenities, both areas sit far below the national figure for university qualifications.
