Florey Light

Light and Florey are nearby areas in South Australia with very different community profiles. Florey is far more culturally diverse, with 36.1% of people born overseas and 33.2% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Light is much less diverse, with only 16.8% born overseas and 6.3% using another language. Light is also more likely to be non-religious, with 53.7% of residents reporting no religion, compared to 36.9% in Florey. Access to services also differs; Florey is very walkable and has far more public transport departures, while Light is somewhat walkable and has far fewer.

Since 2011, the gaps between the two have shifted significantly. The lead has flipped for overseas birth, language use, and university qualifications, with Florey becoming much more diverse and qualified than Light over time. Despite these changing trends, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share almost identical typical household incomes, the same proportion of people living alone, and an equal number of people per home.
