Dunstan Morialta

Dunstan and Morialta are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different living patterns. Dunstan is a walker's paradise with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, whereas Morialta is only somewhat walkable. This difference is reflected in the housing; Dunstan has far more renters (36.0% compared to 18.0%) and far more people living alone (34.6% vs 21.9%). In contrast, Morialta is dominated by larger family homes, with 87.7% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms, compared to 57.4% in Dunstan. Dunstan also has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (44.2% vs 31.8%) and more recent overseas arrivals (23.0% vs 12.4%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who need help with daily activities, at around 5.1% or 5.2%. They also share a similar age profile, with about 20% of residents aged 65 and over. While they are alike in these respects, other gaps have shifted since 2011. The difference in university qualifications and the number of people living alone have both grown significantly, as the lead in these measures has flipped between the two areas over the last decade.
