below summarise data regarding changes to household structure between 2001
and 2011. Supporting data tables are found in Section 1.6 of
Appendix C.
6.7.1. Couple families with no children
The Study Area has experienced very little change in the proportion of couple families with no children
over the ten years 2001-2011. This is in contrast to the Greater Adelaide region where the proportion of
couple families with no children has risen. It is also notable that Western Adelaide continues to have
proportionally fewer couple families with no children, at approximately 24%, compared with 26% for
Greater Adelaide.
Within the Study Area, Charles Sturt and West Torrens have the greatest concentrations of couple
families with no children, at approximately 24% each. There have not been significant changes to the
proportion of couple families without children in any Council in the region over the past ten years.
