Barmera Berri

Barmera and Berri are nearby South Australian areas with very different layouts. Berri is a very walkable hub where 89.6% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 85% are near health services. In contrast, Barmera is mostly car-dependent, with far more separate houses (91.1% compared to 78.1% in Berri) and a much lower share of renters, at 21.2% versus 41.3% in Berri. Barmera also has an older population, with a typical age of 48 compared to 42 in Berri.

Both areas share many core traits, including similar proportions of children under 15 and almost identical rates of volunteering and unpaid care. They also have very similar typical weekly incomes, around $610 to $651. However, some gaps are widening; since 2011, the difference in the typical age of residents has grown, and Berri has seen a much larger increase in recent arrivals from overseas than Barmera.
