Ardrossan Price

Ardrossan and Price are two nearby areas on the Yorke Peninsula with very different layouts. Ardrossan is more developed and is considered somewhat walkable, with 87.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Price is mostly car-dependent and no homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services or schools. Other notable gaps include the typical age, which is noticeably older in Ardrossan at 61, and a higher share of people with bachelor degrees (7.2%) compared to 0.0% in Price.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, as they share the same proportion of adults working or looking for work (37.1%) and the same average number of people per home (1.9). Both areas have a high proportion of older residents compared to the national figure, though this is slightly more pronounced in Ardrossan. While they are alike in these respects, the crime rate has changed differently, with the rate of increase far higher in Price over the last five years.
