Goyder Port Pirie

Port Pirie and Goyder are two different types of South Australian hubs, separated by about 92 km. Port Pirie is a more connected centre where 66.1% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport and 63.7% are near a school. In contrast, Goyder is more rural, with far more people working from home (16.4% compared to 4.1% in Port Pirie) and a much higher share of homes owned outright at 49.3%. While Port Pirie has larger schools, Goyder has more schools for every 1,000 children.

The gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, with Goyder seeing a growing lead in homes owned outright. Despite this trend, the two areas share several similarities, including nearly identical shares of people living alone and a similar number of people per home. Both areas also have a similar percentage of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, sitting around 9%. While residents in both areas are older than the national figure, this is more pronounced in Goyder, where the typical resident is 51.
