Kimba Streaky Bay

Streaky Bay and Kimba are two rural South Australian areas with distinct profiles. Kimba has a much higher share of people born overseas (20.0% compared to 3.6% in Streaky Bay) and more people working full-time (64.7% versus 53.1%). Residents in Kimba are also more likely to live in homes with three or more bedrooms (87.5% compared to 73.0%) and have better local walkability, with 46.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, compared to 24.0% in Streaky Bay. In contrast, Streaky Bay has a noticeably older typical resident (47 years versus 42 years) and typical weekly rents are far higher at $240, compared to $150 in Kimba.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several key measures. The gap in typical ages has flipped, with Streaky Bay now the older of the two, while the divide in rent and full-time employment has widened. Despite these trends, they remain very similar in other ways, such as the share of adults with a bachelor degree (around 11%) and the proportion of people who speak a language other than English at home (about 1.6%).
