Adelaide Enfield

Adelaide and Enfield are neighbouring areas with very different living patterns. Adelaide is a walker's paradise with a high share of renters (49.0%) and people living alone (38.7%). It has a more highly educated population, with 44.3% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Enfield is dominated by separate houses (73.3%) and larger family homes, with 74.9% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms. Enfield also has a higher share of children under 15 at 18.3%.

Since 2011, several gaps between the two have narrowed, including the differences in rental rates, university degrees and the number of people arriving from overseas. Despite these shifts, both areas remain very similar in some ways, such as the typical age of residents, which is 35 in both. They also share similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,680 and a high rate of residents living within walking distance of a park.
