Mount Barker Nairne

Mount Barker and Nairne are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different levels of activity. Mount Barker is a growing hub where 48.1% of people moved in during the last five years, compared to 35.8% in Nairne. This growth is reflected in the infrastructure, as Mount Barker has far more schools and public transport departures, and a much higher share of homes within walking distance of health services (47.3%) and groceries (55.2%). Nairne is smaller and more residential, with a much higher proportion of detached houses (98.0%) and a far higher share of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport (86.0%).

These two areas share a very similar lifestyle, with almost identical typical weekly household incomes and rent prices of $350. They also have nearly the same share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. While they are alike in these ways, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in the share of people born overseas has grown since 2011, with Mount Barker now well higher at 16.5% compared to 12.3% in Nairne.
