Coonamia Port Pirie South

Port Pirie South and Coonamia are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and populations. Port Pirie South is a larger community where 22.8% of people are aged 65 or over and 33.6% live alone. It is more connected, with a walkability score of 3.8 (mostly car-dependent), meaning many homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools, parks, and health services. In contrast, Coonamia is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with only 3.1% of residents aged 65 or over. While 100% of homes in Coonamia are separate houses, it has a higher share of one-parent families at 31.8% and a larger proportion of children under 15 at 24.0%.

Everyday life shares some similarities, as both areas have almost the same percentage of people with no religion and a similar number of people per home. They also both rely entirely on cars for commuting, with no one using public transport to get to work. However, the two areas differ in their First Nations populations; residents in Coonamia are far older, with a typical age of 40 compared to 19 in Port Pirie South, and they generally earn a higher personal income.
