Finniss Heysen

Heysen and Finniss are nearby South Australian areas with similar populations, but they differ sharply in wealth and age. Heysen is a more affluent area where the typical household earns $2,126 a week and 35.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Finniss is much older, with a typical resident aged 59 and 40% of the population aged 65 and over. This higher proportion of seniors in Finniss is consistent with a much lower typical household income of $1,010 and a higher rate of long-term health conditions, at 41.9%.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of children under 15, though Heysen's 17.9% is slightly higher than Finniss's 12.4%. They are also alike in that both are mostly car-dependent and have similar rates of unpaid housework. However, the gaps between them are widening. Since 2011, the difference in typical household income has grown by more than $1,100, and the gap in higher education qualifications has increased by nearly 20 percentage points.
