Light Pass Penrice

Penrice and Light Pass are neighbouring areas in South Australia with distinct profiles. Penrice has a younger feel, with a higher share of children under 15 (18.5%) and a typical resident age of 43. It is also the wealthier of the two, where typical weekly household incomes are well higher at $2,009 compared to $1,593 in Light Pass. In contrast, Light Pass is more established and walkable; a far higher share of its homes are owned outright (54.9% versus 40.6%), and it has more public transport stops and amenities within a 15-minute walk.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the typical weekly personal income of residents, which sits at around $820. This shared economic baseline exists alongside other similarities, such as having about the same proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. While they share these traits, Penrice has seen a more significant drop in its crime rate over the last five years, and its typical resident remains noticeably younger than those in Light Pass.
