Macclesfield Meadows

Meadows and Macclesfield (SA) are neighbouring areas in South Australia with similar populations, but they differ in age and accessibility. Residents are far older in Macclesfield (SA), where the typical age is 47 compared to 39 in Meadows. This is consistent with Macclesfield (SA) having a well higher share of people aged 65 and over (20.3%) and a well higher proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (25.5%). In contrast, Meadows is more walkable, with 70.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Macclesfield (SA) is car-dependent and has no homes within that distance of a shop.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people with no religion, which is around 62%. They are also alike in their small First Nations populations and similar shares of people earning over $2,000 a week. While Meadows has seen more people move in over the last five years, Macclesfield (SA) has experienced a far higher increase in its crime rate during that same period.
