Middle Beach Two Wells

Two Wells and Middle Beach are neighbouring South Australian areas with very different profiles. Two Wells is a larger community where the typical resident is 35, while Middle Beach is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 49. This age gap is reflected in the housing and income; Two Wells has far more large homes with three or more bedrooms (91.3%) and a typical weekly household income that is far higher at $1,906, compared to just $1,062 in Middle Beach.

Both areas share a similar proportion of people aged 65 and over and nearly identical typical weekly rents of around $300. This common ground exists despite other sharp contrasts, such as walkability. Two Wells is mostly car-dependent, but it still has far more public transport stops and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and groceries, whereas Middle Beach is completely car-dependent with no such amenities within walking distance.
