Robe Coorong

Robe and Coorong are two rural South Australian areas with a clear contrast in wealth and education. Robe is far more affluent, with higher typical incomes and a far higher share of people who finished Year 12 (45.7% compared to 33.8% in Coorong). This is consistent with a larger flow of new residents, as 42.1% of people in Robe moved there in the last five years, compared to 29.3% in Coorong. Robe is also more walkable, with far more homes within a short walk of parks, groceries, and schools.

Both areas share a similar profile in some respects, and both sit just above the national figure for the share of people providing unpaid care. They are also very similar in their housing styles, as both consist almost entirely of separate houses and have the same typical number of people per home. While both have older populations than the national average, the gap between them has widened since 2011, with residents now noticeably older in Robe.
