Black Point Port Vincent

Port Vincent and Black Point are two small, nearby South Australian areas with very different residential patterns. Port Vincent is more developed, with a walkability score of 3.9 (mostly car-dependent) and 66.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. It also has a higher number of people living alone (36.4%) and those who rent (19.0%). In contrast, Black Point is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a typical monthly home-loan payment of $2,000, which is far higher than the $1,100 typical for Port Vincent.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 as aging communities, though Black Point is now notably older with a typical resident aged 69 compared to 65 in Port Vincent. They share a lack of public transport use and a population that speaks English. While Port Vincent has more people working from home (13.5%) than Black Point (34.5%), both sit well below the national figure for full-time employment.
