Adelaide Hartley

Adelaide and Hartley are neighbouring areas in South Australia, but they offer very different ways of living. Adelaide is a high-density hub where 49% of homes are rented and flats or apartments are common, while Hartley is dominated by separate houses, with 71.4% of homes being detached. Adelaide has a more highly qualified workforce, with 44.3% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 32.8% in Hartley. This professional profile is consistent with higher incomes in Adelaide, where 16.2% of people earn $2,000 or more a week, well above Hartley's 9.1%.

Both areas share a very similar international makeup, with about 37% of residents born overseas. This common ground exists alongside other similarities, such as nearly every home in both places being within a 10 minute walk of public transport. While they share these traits, the gaps in their housing and demographics are shifting; for example, the difference in the share of separate houses has narrowed since 2011. At the same time, the gap in high incomes and university qualifications has widened.
