Davenport Elder

Elder and Davenport are neighbouring South Australian areas with very different living patterns. Elder is more densely settled and very walkable, with a far higher share of renters (30.8% compared to 14.4%) and people living alone (30.3% versus 20.0%). It is also more diverse, with 23.8% of residents using a language other than English at home, compared to 12.3% in Davenport. In contrast, Davenport is dominated by large family homes, with 90.7% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms, far higher than the 69.3% in Elder.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of households renting. They are also remarkably similar in other ways, such as having almost identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $790. While the gaps in rental rates and language diversity have narrowed since 2011, the difference in housing styles has grown, with separate houses becoming far more common in Davenport than in Elder.
