Lewiston Two Wells

Two Wells and Lewiston are neighbouring South Australian areas with very different levels of accessibility. Two Wells is a younger community where the typical resident is 34, and it is far more walkable, with 38.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Lewiston is far older with a typical age of 44, and it is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or schools. Two Wells has also seen a much higher influx of new residents, with 39.7% moving in during the last five years compared to 24.2% in Lewiston.

These two areas have tracked further apart since 2011, particularly as the age gap between them widened from two years to 10 years. Despite these diverging trends, they share several core characteristics, such as nearly identical rates of adults with a bachelor degree (around 8%) and very similar typical weekly household incomes of about $1,900. Both areas also have a similar share of people aged 65 and over, sitting at roughly 12%.
