Black Heysen

Black and Heysen are two residential areas in South Australia with very different layouts. Black is a more compact and accessible place, where 97% of homes are within a 10 minute walk of public transport and its walkability score is somewhat walkable. In contrast, Heysen is mostly car-dependent, with only 49.5% of homes near public transport. Black also has a far higher share of people born overseas at 27.0%, compared to 16.4% in Heysen, and it is far more connected with 119 intersections per square kilometre against just 5 in Heysen.

The two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with Heysen's lead growing in some areas while Black has closed the gap in others. For example, the typical age in Heysen is now noticeably older than in Black, whereas the opposite was true in 2011. At the same time, the gap in university qualifications has shrunk, though Heysen remains well higher with 35.1% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. They do share some similarities, such as having almost the same proportion of children under 15 and very similar typical weekly incomes.
