Strathalbyn Macclesfield

Strathalbyn and Macclesfield (L) are two nearby South Australian areas with very different layouts. Strathalbyn is much more walkable, with 51.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 83.8% near a park, while Macclesfield (L) has no homes within walking distance of shops or health services. There are also clear economic gaps; the typical weekly household income in Macclesfield (L) is $1,543, which is well higher than the $1,199 seen in Strathalbyn. Additionally, Strathalbyn has a more transient population, with 41.1% of people moving in the last five years compared to 28.3% in Macclesfield (L).

Both areas are very similar in other ways, such as having the same typical resident age of 47 and an almost identical unemployment rate of around 4%. They also both sit close to the national figure for the share of people born overseas. While they share these traits, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in the share of adults with bachelor degrees is now far higher in Macclesfield (L) than it was in previous censuses.
