Dunstan Kavel

Kavel and Dunstan are two South Australian areas with similar populations but very different layouts. Kavel is dominated by large family homes, with 93.5% of dwellings being separate houses and 87.1% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Dunstan is a much denser, urban area where 44.2% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher, compared to 22.1% in Kavel. Dunstan is also far more diverse; 30.4% of its people were born overseas and 25.4% use a language other than English at home, while those figures are 14.8% and 5.2% in Kavel.

The two areas are almost identical when it comes to the typical weekly household income, which sits around $1,720. However, the gap in how people live has widened over time. While Kavel is somewhat walkable, Dunstan is a walker's paradise where every home is within 15 minutes of health services and groceries. This difference in lifestyle is mirrored in the housing market, with the share of renters being far higher in Dunstan and the gap growing since 2011.
