Davenport Mawson

Mawson and Davenport are both South Australian areas with similar total populations, but they differ sharply in their layouts and wealth. Davenport is much more walkable, with 61.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of city services compared to 34.2% in Mawson. Residents in Davenport also earn more, with a typical household income of $1,809 a week, which is well higher than the $1,297 typical in Mawson. This income gap is consistent with education levels, as Year 12 completion is far higher in Davenport at 61.8% compared to 49.1% in Mawson.

Both areas share a very similar housing style, with over 92% of homes being separate detached houses. They also have almost the same proportion of children under 15 and very similar numbers of people providing unpaid care. While they share these commonalities, some gaps have grown over time; for instance, the typical resident in Mawson is now five years older than in Davenport, a difference that did not exist in 2011.
