Light Schubert

Schubert and Light are nearby South Australian areas with distinct residential profiles. Schubert is a more established, older area where the typical resident is 45 and a far higher share of homes are owned outright (39.4% compared to 26.4% in Light). It is also more rural in feel, with a far higher proportion of separate houses (94.9%) and smaller, more numerous schools. In contrast, Light is more mobile and connected; far more people have moved there in the last five years (42.2% versus 29.9% in Schubert) and the area has far more public transport departures and a higher share of homes within walking distance of parks and health services.

Both areas are very similar in terms of household size, with 2.5 people per home, and they share a nearly identical typical weekly rent of around $290. While they have much in common, the gaps in housing and age are growing; the difference in outright home ownership and the age gap between the two have both widened since 2011.
