Salisbury East Salisbury Heights

Salisbury East and Salisbury Heights are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Salisbury East is very walkable and more diverse, with 21.3% of people using another language at home and a higher proportion of renters (23.9%). In contrast, Salisbury Heights is dominated by separate houses (97.6%) and larger family homes, with 19.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to just 7.7% in Salisbury East. This higher income level in Salisbury Heights is also seen among First Nations residents, who have a typical personal income of $1,100, which is far higher than the $537 seen in Salisbury East.

Both areas share similar proportions of First Nations residents and nearly identical school sizes. However, the gap in walkability remains a major divide between the two. While Salisbury East is very walkable with almost all homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, Salisbury Heights is only somewhat walkable and far fewer of its residents can access these services on foot.
