Bragg Waite

Bragg and Waite are neighbouring areas in South Australia with similar populations, but they offer very different living environments. Bragg is far more walkable, with 87.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and a walkability score of 7.6 (very walkable). In contrast, Waite is more car-dependent, with a score of 5.3 (somewhat walkable) and only 32.7% of homes near health services. Bragg also has a more diverse population; 33.0% of people were born overseas and 27.0% use another language at home, compared to 21.7% and 9.6% in Waite.

These differences in diversity have become more pronounced, as the gap for people born overseas has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share many core traits, including a typical resident age of 44 and almost identical typical household incomes of around $2,128 a week. While Waite has far more separate houses (87.2% compared to 67.3% in Bragg), both areas sit well above the national figure for home ownership, with about 40% or more of homes owned outright.
