Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 54 km apart · Berri profile · Loxton Surrounds profile

Berri Loxton Surrounds

Berri and Loxton Surrounds are two very different South Australian settings. Berri is a very walkable hub where 89.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 85.0% are near health services. It has a higher share of renters (41.3%) and one-parent families (24.5%), and many residents are recent arrivals from overseas (21.4%). In contrast, Loxton Surrounds is car-dependent and more sparsely populated, with 47.8% of homes owned outright and 97.7% of dwellings being separate houses. Working from home is far more common there, at 15.3% compared to 4.3% in Berri.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have shifted, with the difference in overseas arrivals growing and the gap in home ownership narrowing. Despite these changes, they share some core traits, such as having an identical share of children under 15 (15.9%) and nearly the same number of public transport stops. Both areas also record similar typical monthly home loan payments, around $1,040 in Berri and $1,083 in Loxton Surrounds.
