Davenport Waite

Waite and Davenport are neighbouring areas in South Australia with similar population sizes. Waite is far more likely to have residents with a bachelor degree or higher (41.3% compared to 25.2%) and a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (31.5% versus 20.1%). This is consistent with a workforce in Waite that has more professionals, while residents are also noticeably older, with a typical age of 44 compared to 41 in Davenport.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, such as the typical weekly rent and the number of people living in each home. However, the two areas differ in their local amenities; Davenport has far more public transport departures per 1,000 people (2,040.0 versus 848.7) and more homes within walking distance of health services. While both areas are older than the national figure, the gaps in education and income between them have widened since 2011.
