Elizabeth Ramsay

Ramsay and Elizabeth are neighbouring areas in South Australia with similar population sizes. Ramsay is far more multicultural, with 33.0% of people born overseas and 31.7% using a language other than English at home, compared with 22.8% and 14.7% in Elizabeth. In contrast, Elizabeth has a much higher share of people with no religion (50.8% against 39.0% in Ramsay) and more schools, with 23 within 3 km compared to just 9 in Ramsay.

These two areas are almost identical in several ways, including typical weekly household incomes of around $1,150 to $1,200 and similar shares of adults with university degrees. While both are mostly made up of separate houses, the gap between them in this measure has narrowed since 2011. Over the same period, the difference in the proportion of residents who speak little or no English has shifted, with Ramsay now well higher than Elizabeth.
