Kangaroo Island Victor Harbor

Kangaroo Island and Victor Harbor are two distinct South Australian regions with very different profiles. Victor Harbor is far older, with a typical resident aged 60 and 42.2% of people aged 65 and over. It is also much more concentrated, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (44.4% compared to 11.9% on Kangaroo Island). In contrast, Kangaroo Island has a much higher share of adults working or looking for work (57.8% versus 40.2%) and a significantly higher rate of volunteering at 33.0%.

These differences in employment have become less sharp, as the gap between the two areas has narrowed since 2011. Both regions share a similar proportion of First Nations people (1.7%) and have almost identical typical home sizes. While Kangaroo Island is more dispersed, it actually has far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people than Victor Harbor.
