Black Finniss

Finniss and Black are two South Australian areas with similar populations but very different profiles. Finniss is a much older area where the typical resident is 59, and 40% of people are aged 65 and over. It has a lower proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (15.3%) and a typical weekly household income of $1,010. In contrast, Black is younger with a typical age of 42 and higher educational attainment, with 26.4% of adults holding a university degree. Residents in Black also earn more, with a typical weekly household income of $1,856.

Both areas are very similar in their housing styles, with about 90% of homes being separate houses. This shared layout exists despite different levels of accessibility; Black is somewhat walkable and most homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while Finniss is mostly car-dependent. Over time, the age gap has widened significantly, with Finniss becoming far older than Black since 2011.
