Nairne Petwood

Nairne and Petwood are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different scales. Nairne is a larger community where 86% of homes are within a 10 minute walk of public transport and the area is described as somewhat walkable. Petwood is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with no homes within walking distance of public transport. There are also distinct differences in housing and lifestyle: Petwood has a far higher share of homes owned outright (46.4% compared to 24.6% in Nairne) and a much higher percentage of people who work from home (28.0% versus 11.1% in Nairne).

Everyday life in both places is similar in several ways, including typical weekly household incomes which sit around $1,800. They also share similar proportions of people aged 65 and over and a similar drive time to the city. While they are alike in these areas, the gap in how people access services is wide, as Nairne is far more likely to have parks, schools and groceries within a 15-minute walk.
