Currency Creek Finniss

Currency Creek and Finniss are neighbouring rural areas in South Australia. Currency Creek has more high-earning households, with 20.3% earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 7.2% in Finniss. This gap in wealth extends to First Nations residents, who in Currency Creek have a typical personal income of $824, far higher than the $225 seen in Finniss. While Currency Creek is home to more children and has two schools, Finniss has a much older population, with 27.6% of people aged 65 and over.

Both areas share several similarities, such as a complete lack of public transport and almost identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $700. However, a gap is widening in the local housing market. The typical monthly home-loan payment in Finniss is now $1,976, which is well higher than the $1,560 paid in Currency Creek. This trend is consistent with Finniss having more people living alone and a higher share of residents working from home.
