Davenport Heysen

Davenport and Heysen are nearby areas in South Australia with very different layouts. Davenport is a more urban environment where 61.2% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed and the walkability score is somewhat walkable. Heysen is mostly car-dependent, with only 30.6% of homes in a similar walkshed. These differences extend to services; 91.5% of Davenport homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, compared to 49.5% in Heysen. Davenport also has a far higher number of weekly public transport departures per 1,000 people (2,040.0 compared to 751.6 in Heysen).

While both areas have similar typical weekly rents and share the same proportion of adults working or looking for work, the gap in their overseas-born populations has widened since 2011. People born overseas now make up 24.6% of Davenport's population, which is well higher than the 16.4% in Heysen.
