Joslin Marden

Marden and Joslin are neighbouring areas in Adelaide with very different residential profiles. Marden is much younger, with a typical resident aged 36 compared to 48 in Joslin. It is also more diverse and transient; 38.4% of people were born overseas and 50.5% moved here in the last five years, while Joslin has a far higher share of homeowners, with 46.9% owning their homes outright. Joslin is wealthier, with 39.9% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 17.6% in Marden.

Both areas are remarkably similar in other ways, such as having almost identical shares of children under 15 and nearly the same typical weekly rent of around $310. These similarities extend to their transit times to the city and unemployment rates, which are effectively the same. While they share these everyday patterns, the gap in home ownership and age remains a stark contrast between the two neighbours.
