Woodside Birdwood

Woodside and Birdwood (L) are two nearby areas in the Adelaide Hills with very different layouts. Woodside is very walkable, with 90.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 83.9% near health services, while Birdwood (L) is only somewhat walkable and has no homes within that distance of health services. Woodside also has a much older population, with 27.6% of residents aged 65 and over and a typical age of 48, compared to 17.4% of seniors and a typical age of 42 in Birdwood (L).

Both areas share similar typical weekly incomes and nearly identical rates of volunteering and overseas birth. While they are alike in these ways, the gap in their age structures is wide, as Birdwood (L) has well more children under 15 than Woodside. This difference is consistent with the housing styles seen across the two, where Birdwood (L) has a higher share of separate houses and more homes with four or more bedrooms.
