Goyder Port Wakefield

Port Wakefield and Goyder are two nearby South Australian areas with very different characters. Port Wakefield is a more diverse and established hub, where 21.5% of people were born overseas and the typical resident is 44. It is a somewhat walkable area with a school and various amenities nearby. In contrast, Goyder is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much younger population—the typical resident is 35 and children under 15 make up 58.3% of the area. Incomes are also far higher in Goyder, where the typical household earns $2,250 a week compared to $1,093 in Port Wakefield.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the number of people per bedroom. However, they differ in almost every other way, from their lack of health services to their home ownership costs. Port Wakefield is more mobile and connected, with 40.9% of residents moving in the last five years, while Goyder has seen no such arrivals.
