Black Gibson

Gibson and Black are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different layouts. Gibson is a walker's paradise, where almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of health services, groceries, and schools. In contrast, Black is much more car-dependent, with only 56.4% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed. Gibson has a much higher proportion of people living alone (32.6%) and renters (29.6%), while Black is dominated by detached houses (90.8%) and larger homes, with 89.8% having three or more bedrooms.

Both areas are very similar in other ways, such as having about 26% to 27% of their population born overseas. They also share a similar typical family income, around $2,100 a week. While the gap in typical household income has narrowed since 2011, other differences have grown. More people have moved into Gibson in the last five years compared to Black, and the gap in the number of older residents has also widened.
