Davenport Gibson

Gibson and Davenport are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different street layouts and housing styles. Gibson is a walker's paradise with a walkability score of 8.0, where 100% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed. It has far more renters (29.6% compared to 14.4% in Davenport) and a much higher share of people living alone at 32.6%. In contrast, Davenport is dominated by separate houses, which make up 92.9% of homes. It is more car-dependent, with 90.7% of homes having three or more bedrooms, compared to 72.5% in Gibson.

Everyday life in both places shares a similar feel in terms of income, with the typical weekly personal income sitting around $770 to $780. They also have almost identical rates of volunteering and a similar share of people who have served in the Defence Force. Since 2011, the gaps between them have often grown, particularly regarding housing and mobility. The difference in the proportion of separate houses has widened significantly, and Gibson has become far more likely than Davenport to be a place where people live without a motor vehicle.
