Hindmarsh Valley Port Elliot

Port Elliot and Hindmarsh Valley are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different characters. Port Elliot is a much older community, where the typical resident is 61 and 44.3% of people are aged 65 or over. This older population helps explain why health conditions are far higher here, affecting 43.6% of residents, and why more people live alone (29.0%). In contrast, Hindmarsh Valley is car-dependent, with far more large homes of three or more bedrooms (90.5%) and a much higher share of adults working or looking for work (65.1%).

While both areas share similar levels of English proficiency and unpaid care roles, the divide in their layouts is widening. Port Elliot is somewhat walkable, with 74.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 70.1% near health services. Hindmarsh Valley remains almost entirely reliant on cars, with only 1.6% of homes within reach of groceries and no homes within a 15-minute walk of health services.
