Seacombe Heights South Brighton

South Brighton and Seacombe Heights are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different housing and street layouts. South Brighton is very walkable, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Seacombe Heights is somewhat walkable and has far more separate houses (98.6% compared to 71.2% in South Brighton). There is also a notable difference in household makeup; South Brighton has a far higher share of people living alone (30.9% versus 18.1%) and more renters, while Seacombe Heights has far more homes with three or more bedrooms (95.4% versus 70.7%).

These two areas have tracked similarly in several ways since 2011, though the gap in walkability remains a stark divide.

While both areas are above the national figure for people with no religion, this gap has widened slightly, with Seacombe Heights now at 52.9% and South Brighton at 49.4%.
