Goyder and Peterborough are both regional South Australian areas with populations that are smaller than most areas of their type. Goyder has a higher share of people who finished Year 12 (35.4% compared to 23.2%) and a much higher share of adults working or looking for work (51.6% versus 37.2%). In contrast, Peterborough has a higher share of one-parent families (24.6% versus 10.8%) and more people living alone (45.2% versus 34.2%).
