Davenport Morphett

Davenport and Morphett are two nearby South Australian areas with very different housing styles. Davenport is dominated by separate houses (92.9%), and it is far more likely to have homes with three or more bedrooms (90.7%). In contrast, Morphett has a much higher share of renters (33.8% compared to 14.4% in Davenport) and many more people living alone (35.8% versus 20.0%). Morphett is also very walkable, with 92.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while only 50.3% of Davenport residents have that same access.

Everyday life in both places shares similar foundations, with typical weekly personal incomes sitting around $785 to $840 and nearly identical shares of people born overseas. However, the gap in housing and walkability has widened since 2011. While both areas have more people with no religion than the national figure, this trend is more pronounced in Davenport. Morphett has also seen a recent increase in overseas arrivals, a trend that has flipped the lead between the two areas since 2011.
