James Well Port Julia

James Well and Port Julia are both sparsely populated areas on the Yorke Peninsula. There are a few striking differences between them; Port Julia has a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (61.0% compared to 49.2% in James Well) and a much higher proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms (87.5% versus 60.0%). In contrast, James Well has a far higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (12.1% compared to 0.0% in Port Julia) and a higher number of adults working or looking for work (44.8% versus 17.0%).

Since 2011, the two areas have followed similar paths as small, residential pockets. They share many traits: the typical resident in both is 66, and every home is a separate house with no renters. Both are very car-dependent, with no residents living within a 15-minute walk of a school or the 15-minute-city walkshed. While Port Julia has more people providing unpaid care, both areas sit far above the national figure for home ownership.
