Parafield Salisbury South

Salisbury South and Parafield are neighbouring areas, but they have very different residents. Salisbury South is a sparsely populated area where the typical resident is 83, and 87.2% of people are seniors. This is reflected in the health data, with 92.3% of residents having a long-term health condition and 74.4% needing help with daily activities. In contrast, Parafield is dominated by young people; the typical resident is just 22, and 47.6% of the population are youth aged 15 to 24. Parafield is also much more walkable (very walkable) compared to Salisbury South (somewhat walkable), with 95.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries.

Both areas have tracked along similar paths since 2011 in terms of their connection to the city, with nearly identical drive and transit times. They also share a lack of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and a similar absence of people working or looking for work. While Salisbury South has a much higher share of people born overseas (53.8% compared to 28.6%), both areas sit well above the national figure for people using a language other than English at home.
