Hamley Bridge Auburn

Hamley Bridge (L) and Auburn (L) are two small South Australian towns with very different characters. Auburn (L) is a very walkable area where people are far older, with a typical age of 56 and 33.5% aged 65 or over. It also has a more qualified workforce, with 23% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Hamley Bridge (L) is more car-dependent and has a younger population, including a higher share of children under 15 (16.7%). It also has a much larger share of one-parent families at 22.6% and more people who identify as having no religion (60.7%).

Both towns have a similar housing style, with around 94% of homes being separate houses. They also share a similar experience of international migration, with about 15% of residents born overseas, a figure close to the national average. However, many gaps between the two have grown since 2011, particularly regarding education, income, and age. While Auburn (L) has an abundance of nearby shops and health services, Hamley Bridge (L) is much more reliant on cars for daily needs.
