Auburn Saddleworth

Saddleworth and Auburn are small, nearby areas in South Australia with very different levels of accessibility and education. Auburn is very walkable, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, while Saddleworth is mostly car-dependent. Auburn also has a far more qualified workforce; 23.0% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 8.1% in Saddleworth. This is consistent with income levels, as the typical weekly family income in Auburn is $1,681, which is far higher than the $1,022 seen in Saddleworth.

Daily life shares many similarities in both places, such as having almost identical proportions of residents aged 65 and over (around 33%) and very similar typical weekly rents. However, some gaps are widening. The difference in educational attainment and the lead Auburn holds in typical incomes have both grown since 2011. Meanwhile, Saddleworth has seen a rise in recent arrivals from overseas, who now make up 22.8% of its population.
