Badcoe Black

Badcoe and Black are nearby South Australian areas with very different housing and social profiles. Badcoe is a more transient and diverse hub, where 27.2% of residents arrived from overseas recently and 30.7% use a language other than English at home. It has a higher share of renters (38.5%) and many more people living alone (32.6%). In contrast, Black is dominated by established family homes, with 90.8% being separate houses and 89.8% having three or more bedrooms. Black also has a higher share of homes owned outright (37.1%) and a notably older typical resident at 42.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has widened across several measures, particularly in housing and migration. They have drifted further apart as Badcoe's share of recent overseas arrivals and renters grew faster than in Black. Despite these shifting trends, they remain alike in some core ways; both have similar typical weekly personal incomes around $813 to $854 and nearly identical shares of people in de facto relationships.
