Kingscote Menzies

Kingscote and Menzies (SA) are two different kinds of places on Kangaroo Island. Kingscote is a larger hub where residents are far older, with a typical age of 51 and 29.0% aged 65 and over. It has a higher share of renters (29.8%) and people living alone (37.5%), and typical weekly household incomes are much lower at $1,103. In contrast, Menzies (SA) is sparsely populated and more family-oriented, with 28.9% of people under 15 and a typical age of 38. Typical weekly incomes there are far higher at $2,250.

Both areas are effectively alike in that very few people speak little or no English. This commonality exists alongside a stark divide in how people get around. Kingscote is somewhat walkable, with many homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or park, while Menzies (SA) is car-dependent. This is reflected in the homes, with Menzies (SA) having a much higher share of households with three or more vehicles.
