McCracken Middleton

McCracken and Middleton (SA) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. McCracken is much older, with a typical resident aged 64 and nearly half the population aged 65 or over (49.4%). This older ownship is consistent with more residents having long-term health conditions (46.2%). In contrast, Middleton (SA) is younger, has a higher share of adults working or looking for work (56.1%), and is more likely to have residents who finished Year 12. McCracken is also more convenient for pedestrians, with a somewhat walkable score of 4.5 and many homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Middleton (SA) is car-dependent.
