Clare Port Pirie Surrounds

Clare and Port Pirie Surrounds are both small South Australian areas, but they differ significantly in layout and demographics. Clare is a somewhat walkable area where 59.1% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Port Pirie Surrounds is car-dependent and much more sparsely spread. There are also notable social gaps: recent arrivals from overseas are far higher in Clare at 13.1% compared to just 1.2% in Port Pirie Surrounds, and the typical weekly personal income in Clare is well higher at $751 compared to $572 in Port Pirie Surrounds.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people born overseas, at around 8% each. They also share a similar proportion of older residents, with about 24% of the population aged 65 and over. While they share these traits, other gaps are shifting; the difference in the share of people who have moved in the last five years has narrowed since 2011, though the gap in typical weekly incomes has widened.
