Cooltong Renmark West

Renmark West and Cooltong are neighbouring areas in South Australia, but they have very different profiles. Renmark West is more established with separate houses, which make up 94.7% of homes, while Cooltong has a much higher share of townhouses and semi-detached homes. Cooltong is far more diverse, with 19.3% of people born overseas and 25.5% using a language other than English at home, compared to 8.4% and 10.0% in Renmark West. Renmark West is also more walkable, with more residents living within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools and groceries.

These two areas are very similar in their typical weekly incomes, which sit around $770 to $790, and both have similar unemployment rates. However, the gap in crime rates is widening; while Renmark West has seen its crime rate fall by 51.9% over five years, Cooltong's rate has stayed the same. This has left Cooltong with a much higher rate of recorded offences and theft than its neighbour.
