Lee Port Adelaide

Port Adelaide and Lee are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, but they differ in their social and urban makeup. Port Adelaide has a far higher share of people with no religion (50.8% compared to 37.1% in Lee) and more people in de facto relationships. Lee is more elderly, with 24.8% of residents aged 65 and over, compared to 19.4% in Port Adelaide. Lee is also more diverse, with a higher share of people born overseas (25.4%) and those using another language at home (21.9%).

The gap in people with no religion has widened since 2011, growing from a difference of 0.8% to 13.6%. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways, with almost identical typical household incomes (around $1,430 a week) and a similar share of children under 15. Both areas are highly walkable, though Lee has better street connectivity and more homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport.
