Virginia Roseworthy

Virginia and Roseworthy (L) are two nearby South Australian areas with very different social profiles. Virginia is a younger, more mobile place where 54.1% of people moved in during the last five years, and 19% were born overseas. This is reflected in the home, where 18.4% of people use a language other than English. In contrast, Roseworthy (L) is older, with a typical resident aged 38 compared to 31 in Virginia. Roseworthy (L) also has a much higher share of people who own their homes outright (35.1% versus 20.3%) and a higher rate of volunteering at 19.2%.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, as they have nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $2,140 and the same average of 3.0 people per home. However, their accessibility differs greatly; Virginia is far more walkable, with 45.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Roseworthy (L) has none. Over time, the gaps between them have often widened, particularly regarding language and overseas birth, though the age gap has shifted as Virginia's population has become younger than that of Roseworthy (L).
