Boatswain Point Robe

Robe and Boatswain Point are nearby South Australian areas with very different scales and profiles. Robe is a larger hub that is somewhat walkable and has a far higher share of volunteers (35.4%) and people aged 65 and over (30.8%). In contrast, Boatswain Point is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much higher share of people in de facto relationships (32.3%) and a higher proportion of First Nations residents (10.9%). Robe also has far more residents born overseas (10.1%) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (14.0%).

These two areas have tracked in a similar direction since 2011, remaining largely consistent in their core characteristics. They share a few commonalities, such as similar typical monthly home-loan payments and very low numbers of people who speak little or no English. Both areas also have a typical resident age that is far older than the national figure, though Robe remains noticeably older than Boatswain Point.
