Goyder Waikerie

Waikerie and Goyder are both regional South Australian areas with a similar feel, though Waikerie is larger with a population of 6,646 compared to 4,079 in Goyder. There are notable differences in their First Nations populations; the typical First Nations resident in Goyder is far older at 38, compared to 25 in Waikerie. This is alongside a much higher unemployment rate for First Nations people in Goyder, at 25.0% compared to 10.0% in Waikerie. Waikerie also has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 13.1%, while Goyder's is just 4.9%.

Since 2011, the two areas have seen some gaps widen, such as the share of people working from home and the proportion of homes owned outright, both of which are now higher in Goyder. However, they remain very alike in many ways, with almost identical shares of children and retirees, and the same typical number of people per home. Both areas sit far below the national figure for Year 12 completion, with Waikerie at 32.4% and Goyder at 35.6%.
