Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 55 km apart · Goyder profile · Jamestown profile

Goyder Jamestown

Jamestown and Goyder are both small South Australian areas where life is centered around rural hubs. Jamestown is more walkable and accessible, with 39.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 37.1% near a school, compared to 18.7% and 16.9% in Goyder. Incomes are also well higher in Jamestown, where the typical personal weekly income is $640, while the usual amount in Goyder is $497. This higher income is consistent with Jamestown having a more qualified workforce, as more residents have completed Year 12.

Both areas share a very similar social profile, with almost the same share of people aged 65 and over (about 27%) and a similar proportion of First Nations residents. While they are alike in these ways, other gaps have widened since 2011. For example, the difference in typical weekly income and the share of people born overseas have both increased over the last decade.
