Chaffey Renmark North

Renmark North and Chaffey are neighbouring South Australian areas with distinct differences in accessibility and demographics. Renmark North is more family-oriented, with 15.9% of people being children under 15, compared to just 9.0% in Chaffey. This shift helps explain why Renmark North has far more large homes, with 81.1% having three or more bedrooms. Residents in Renmark North also have much better access to daily needs, with far more people living within a 15-minute walk of schools, parks, and groceries. In contrast, Chaffey has a higher share of homes owned outright at 53.2% and a typically older population, with a usual age of 48.

These two areas share a very similar daily experience in many ways, such as having nearly identical typical weekly rents of around $225 to $240 and the same share of people with a mental health condition. They also both have a similar proportion of residents using a language other than English at home. While Renmark North has a higher share of people born overseas and a larger number of volunteers, both areas sit well below the national figure for this measure.
