Gawler Roseworthy

Gawler (SA) and Roseworthy (L) are neighbouring South Australian areas with very different characters. Roseworthy (L) is a wealthier, more residential area where 99.4% of homes are separate houses and the typical household income is $2,148 a week. In contrast, Gawler (SA) is more urban and diverse, with a higher share of renters (25.3% compared to 5.8% in Roseworthy (L)) and a typical household income of $1,411. Gawler (SA) is far more walkable, with a score of 5.0 (somewhat walkable), while Roseworthy (L) is mostly car-dependent with a score of 2.4.

Both areas share similar levels of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population and low numbers of people who speak little or no English. While they share these basic traits, they have drifted apart in other ways since 2011. The gap in household income has widened, and Roseworthy (L) has seen its lead in high-income earners and large homes grow. Meanwhile, Gawler (SA) has become more distinct in its higher proportion of people born overseas and those living alone.
