Coonamia Port Pirie

Port Pirie and Coonamia are neighbouring areas with very different populations. Port Pirie is an older, more fragile community where the typical resident is 77 and 62.5% are seniors. This is reflected in the high rate of people needing help with daily activities (53.4%) and a typical weekly personal income of just $378. In contrast, Coonamia is much younger with a typical age of 40 and a far higher share of children under 15 (24.0%). It is also wealthier, with a typical weekly personal income of $850 and a much higher share of detached houses (100%).

Both areas share a similar landscape with very little terrain slope and neither has any households earning $3,000 or more a week. While Port Pirie has more people born overseas and a higher proportion of renters, both areas are situated within the same regional setting. The two places remain distinct in their demographics, with a stark gap in age and income that persists between these two South Australian neighbours.
