Playford is much more diverse, with 38.2% of people born overseas and 40.7% using a language other than English at home. Wright is notably older, with a typical resident aged 40 compared to 35 in Playford, and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (18.4%).

These two areas are almost identical when it comes to the typical weekly household income, which sits around $1,500.
