Ramsay Taylor

Ramsay and Taylor are neighbouring South Australian areas with similar populations, yet they offer very different lifestyles. Ramsay is very walkable, with 81.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and 71.8% near groceries. In contrast, Taylor is mostly car-dependent, with only 13.9% of homes near health services and 30.4% near groceries. Ramsay is also far more diverse, with 33.0% of people born overseas and 31.7% using another language at home, compared to 19.6% and 15.3% in Taylor.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people with no religion, though this is far higher in Taylor at 50.9% compared to 39.0% in Ramsay. They are also alike in their housing markets, with typical weekly rents around $270 to $275 and similar levels of bachelor degrees. While some gaps are closing, such as the difference in the share of adults working or looking for work, other divides are growing. The gap in the share of people born overseas has widened since 2011, as has the difference in the number of people using another language at home.
