Mitchell Park Oaklands Park

Mitchell Park (SA) and Oaklands Park are neighbouring suburbs with distinct differences in their layout and safety profiles. Oaklands Park is more connected and accessible, with a much higher number of public transport departures per 1,000 people (3,712 compared to 1,018) and more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (97.3% versus 83.2%). However, Oaklands Park also records a much higher rate of crime, particularly theft and robbery, and has a far higher First Nations unemployment rate at 22.0% compared to 11.1% in Mitchell Park (SA).

These two areas are almost identical in many fundamental ways, sharing very similar typical household incomes and levels of university education. This shared foundation is seen in their similar populations of First Nations people and the fact that both have a similar share of adults who have completed Year 12. While Mitchell Park (SA) has a slightly younger feel with more children and separate houses, Oaklands Park has a higher proportion of seniors and more townhouses.
