Gawler Hamley Bridge

Gawler (SA) and Hamley Bridge (L) are two South Australian areas with very different scales and layouts. Gawler (SA) is a larger centre that is somewhat walkable, while Hamley Bridge (L) is a smaller, car-dependent area. There are significant gaps in income and education; the typical weekly household income in Gawler (SA) is $1,411, which is well higher than the $922 seen in Hamley Bridge (L). Education levels also differ, with 46.6% of Gawler (SA) residents completing Year 12, compared to 32.0% in Hamley Bridge (L).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in Year 12 completion and typical household income has widened over the last decade. However, they remain similar in other areas, such as the share of people who speak a language other than English at home and the typical number of people per home. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for the share of people who report having no religion.
