Enfield Port Adelaide

Enfield and Port Adelaide are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Enfield is much younger, with a typical resident aged 35 compared to 44 in Port Adelaide. It is also far more culturally diverse; 39.1% of people were born overseas and 40.1% use a language other than English at home, while those figures are 20.6% and 12.3% in Port Adelaide. Enfield also has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (31.3% versus 18.4%) and more residents who have moved recently.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, as typical weekly personal incomes are nearly the same at $792 in Enfield and $756 in Port Adelaide. Both are very walkable, with similar unemployment rates and shares of people working from home. However, some gaps have shifted over time. The age gap has widened and flipped since 2011, and the difference in the share of overseas-born residents has also grown significantly in Enfield's favour.
