Gawler Williamstown

Gawler (SA) and Williamstown are nearby South Australian areas with very different housing and transport profiles. Gawler (SA) is a larger centre where renting is far more common at 25.3%, compared to just 12.2% in Williamstown. While 82.5% of Gawler (SA) homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, only 50.4% of homes in Williamstown share that access. In contrast, Williamstown is dominated by separate houses, which make up 99.1% of its dwellings, and residents there have much better access to health services on foot (73.1% compared to 38.1% in Gawler (SA)).

Both areas sit around the national figure for the share of people providing unpaid care. They also share a similar walkability score, with both being somewhat walkable. While they have similar typical weekly rents and university qualification rates, some gaps are widening. The difference in the share of separate houses and the number of people working or looking for work have both increased since 2011.
