Reynell Waite

Waite and Reynell are two nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Waite is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,128 and 41.3% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, the typical household income in Reynell is far lower at $1,211, and only 11.8% of adults have a bachelor degree. This gap in education and earning power is reflected in home ownership; Waite has far more homes owned outright, while Reynell has a much higher share of renters. Reynell is more walkable and accessible, with 85.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to 45.9% in Waite.

Since 2011, the gaps between the two areas have generally widened, particularly regarding typical incomes and the share of university graduates. Despite these diverging trends, they share several common traits. Both areas have about the same proportion of people aged 65 and over (around 21%) and very similar rates of full-time employment. They also have nearly identical shares of people who speak little or no English and those who report having no religion.
