Chaffey Renmark

Renmark and Chaffey are neighbouring South Australian areas with very different characters. Renmark is a larger, very walkable hub where 34.9% of people live alone and 36.5% rent their homes. It has a much older population, with 26.9% aged 65 and over. In contrast, Chaffey is more car-dependent and sparsely populated, with a typical weekly household income of $1,708, which is far higher than the $1,017 seen in Renmark. Chaffey also has a higher share of home ownership, with 53.2% of homes owned outright.

These two areas have tracked in different directions since 2011, particularly regarding how people move and live. Renmark has become far more mobile, with 40.1% of residents moving in the last five years compared to just 18.7% in Chaffey. Despite these shifting trends, they remain alike in some ways, such as having similar unemployment rates and nearly the same proportion of First Nations residents.
