Karoonda East Murray Murray Bridge

Karoonda East Murray and Murray Bridge are two different kinds of South Australian landscapes. Karoonda East Murray is a smaller, more rural area where half of the homes are owned outright and 26% of people work from home. In contrast, Murray Bridge is more populous and urban, with far more people renting (31.8%) and a much higher proportion of recent overseas arrivals (14.7%). This is seen in the local infrastructure too; Murray Bridge has far larger schools and more amenities within a 15-minute walk, while Karoonda East Murray has a far higher rate of volunteers at 30.9%.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, sitting around 8%. They also share similar household sizes and a similar proportion of children under 15. While they have these commonalities, some gaps are shifting; the difference in typical monthly mortgage payments has widened since 2011, and the gap in the number of people moving into the area has narrowed.
