Ridgehaven Vista

Ridgehaven and Vista are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different layouts. Ridgehaven is very walkable, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a high share of flats or apartments. In contrast, Vista is mostly car-dependent, where every single home is a separate house and 94% have three or more bedrooms. There are also notable gaps in education and income; Vista has a far higher share of people who finished Year 12 (61.6% compared to 49.1% in Ridgehaven) and more households earning $3,000 or more a week (21.4% versus 10.6%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, and they share a typical resident age of 43. They also have very similar proportions of people who have served in the Defence Force and a similar share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While Ridgehaven has more people born overseas and using another language at home, both areas sit well below the national figure for these measures.
