Salisbury Salisbury South

Salisbury (SA) and Salisbury South are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Salisbury (SA) is a larger residential hub with a typical resident aged 37, where 18.8% of people are children under 15. In contrast, Salisbury South is sparsely populated and predominantly home to seniors; the typical resident is 83, and 87.2% of people are aged 65 or over. This gap in age is reflected in health and support needs, as 74.4% of people in Salisbury South need help with daily activities, compared to 10.4% in Salisbury (SA).

Both areas share a similar level of school advantage. However, their daily lives differ, with Salisbury (SA) having a typical weekly household income of $1,029, which is far higher than the $525 seen in Salisbury South. While Salisbury (SA) is very walkable and sees more recent arrivals from overseas, Salisbury South has a much higher proportion of people born overseas and a far older First Nations population.
