Mount Schank Racecourse Bay

Mount Schank and Racecourse Bay are nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Mount Schank has a typical resident aged 38 and higher incomes, with typical weekly household earnings of $1,968. In contrast, Racecourse Bay is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 53 and a typical weekly household income of $1,125. This age gap is stark, as people aged 65 and over make up 48.1% of Racecourse Bay, compared to just 12.1% in Mount Schank.

Both areas are equally car-dependent and have no residents who speak a language other than English at home. This shared lack of public transport and infrastructure is consistent across the pair, and both have a similar proportion of residents who finished Year 12. While Mount Schank has more volunteers and a higher share of people with bachelor degrees, both areas sit well below the national figure for university qualifications.
