Kimba Port Augusta

Port Augusta and Kimba are two distinct South Australian regional areas with very different social profiles. Port Augusta has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 20.4%, compared to just 1.3% in Kimba. The two areas also differ in housing and family structures: Port Augusta has far more one-parent families (22.4% versus 5.0%) and a much higher share of renters at 37.2%, while Kimba is dominated by homeowners, with 51.0% owning their homes outright. Port Augusta's layout is more urban, with far more people living within a 10-minute walk of public transport (86.4% versus 7.4%).

These differences stand in contrast to the many ways the two areas are alike, as they share very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,280 and nearly identical rates of long-term health conditions. While they share these commonalities, some gaps are shifting; for example, the difference in the typical age of residents has narrowed since 2011. Kimba remains notably older, with a typical age of 42 compared to 38 in Port Augusta.
