Port Lincoln Streaky Bay

Port Lincoln and Streaky Bay are two South Australian areas with very different layouts and lifestyles. Port Lincoln is a more urban centre where the typical resident is 41, and many live in rental homes (33.9%) or townhouses. It is a somewhat walkable area, with 70.8% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Streaky Bay is more rural and car-dependent, with a typical age of 47 and a high proportion of people owning their homes outright (49.9%). It has a much stronger volunteering culture, with 35.3% of people helping out compared to 18.9% in Port Lincoln.

The gap in volunteering has widened since 2011, yet the two areas remain alike in several other ways. They share the same typical weekly rent of $240 and the same proportion of adults working or looking for work at 57.7%. Both areas also have a similar level of higher education, with about 11% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. While Port Lincoln has more public transport options, both areas sit near the national average for overall advantage.
