Orroroo Carrieton Peterborough

Peterborough and Orroroo Carrieton are two rural South Australian areas with distinct social and economic profiles. Peterborough has a far higher share of one-parent families (24.6% compared to 4.1%) and more people living alone. It also has far more people who report no religion (44.7% against 32.8%). In contrast, Orroroo Carrieton has a far higher share of adults working or looking for work (57.4% compared to 37.2%) and far more people who completed Year 12 (36.9% compared to 23.2%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have shifted, with the difference in Year 12 completion and one-parent families widening. However, the gap in the number of volunteers has narrowed slightly. Both areas remain largely car-dependent, though they share similar typical weekly rents around $150 and very low rates of people using a language other than English at home.
