Cheltenham Narungga

Narungga and Cheltenham are two very different South Australian areas. Narungga is a predominantly older community where the typical resident is 55, and 32.8% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Cheltenham is much younger, with a typical age of 37. Diversity is also a major divider; 31.7% of Cheltenham residents were born overseas and 33.4% use a language other than English at home, while these figures are much lower in Narungga at 9.3% and 2.3%. Cheltenham also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 23.4% of adults holding a bachelor degree compared to 8.3% in Narungga.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have grown or shifted significantly. The age difference has widened from just one year to 18 years, and the disparity in overseas births has more than tripled. While they share similar unemployment rates and a nearly identical share of people in de facto relationships, their daily environments differ. Cheltenham is very walkable and almost every home is near public transport and shops, while Narungga is mostly car-dependent and dominated by separate houses.
