Kingston SE Keith

Kingston SE and Keith (L) are two South Australian towns with distinct community profiles. Kingston SE is an older area, where the typical resident is 56 and 37.9% of people are seniors. In contrast, Keith (L) is younger, with a typical age of 45 and a higher share of children under 15 (17.8%). Keith (L) is also more convenient for pedestrians, with a walkability score of 5.5 (somewhat walkable) compared to 3.5 (mostly car-dependent) in Kingston SE. This ease of access is seen in the higher number of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and schools in Keith (L).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two towns have shifted in several ways. The age difference has widened, with Kingston SE becoming far older than Keith (L). At the same time, the gap in full-time employment has narrowed, though it remains far higher in Keith (L). Despite these trends, the two towns share much in common; they have identical rental rates and nearly the same percentage of people living alone, using another language at home, or lacking a religious affiliation.
