Lobethal Mount Torrens

Lobethal and Mount Torrens (L) are neighbouring areas in the Adelaide Hills with very different layouts. Lobethal is a very walkable place where 87.1% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 95.2% are near a park. In contrast, Mount Torrens (L) is mostly car-dependent, with 0.0% of homes within a short walk of either groceries or parks. Lobethal also has a higher share of people living alone (27.7%) and a larger number of older residents, with 20.2% aged 65 and over.

These two areas have seen several gaps widen since 2011. The difference in the share of people living alone has more than doubled, while the gap in the number of older residents has grown from nearly nothing to 6.0 percentage points. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain similar in many ways, such as their typical weekly personal incomes and the fact that almost no one in either area uses public transport to commute.
