Lewiston Virginia

Lewiston and Virginia are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different profiles. Lewiston has a far older population, with a typical resident aged 44 compared to just 31 in Virginia. This difference is seen in health and housing, as Lewiston has a far higher share of people with long-term health conditions (32.9%) and more homes owned outright (30.6%). In contrast, Virginia is much more dynamic, with a far higher share of people moving in recently (54.1% compared to 24.2% in Lewiston) and more people using a language other than English at home (18.4% versus 3.3%).

Both areas are effectively alike in several ways, including their typical weekly rent and low unemployment rates. Virginia is more convenient for daily needs, described as mostly car-dependent with various amenities within a 15-minute walk, while Lewiston is strictly car-dependent with almost no such access. Since 2011, the gap in typical weekly income has widened, with Virginia now earning $217 more per week than Lewiston.
