Port Adelaide Taylor

Taylor and Port Adelaide are two nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Taylor is a young area where the typical resident is 32, and it is dominated by large detached houses, with 86.9% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Port Adelaide is much older, with a typical age of 44. Port Adelaide also has a higher share of university qualifications (18.4% compared to 7.8% in Taylor) and more homes owned outright, at 30.6% versus 20.0% in Taylor.

Both areas are very similar in other ways, such as having about 20% of people born overseas and a nearly identical share of people with no religion. This common ground exists alongside a widening gap in accessibility; Port Adelaide is very walkable, while Taylor is mostly car-dependent. This difference is clear in their daily services, as 83% of Port Adelaide homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to only 30.4% in Taylor.
