Parsons Beach Port Victoria

Port Victoria and Parsons Beach are two small coastal areas on the Yorke Peninsula. Port Victoria is the larger of the two, with 397 residents compared to just 19 in Parsons Beach. Port Victoria has a more developed layout for daily needs, with 42.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a far higher number of public transport stops. In contrast, Parsons Beach is sparsely populated and more isolated, though typical weekly incomes there are well higher, with the usual personal income at $725 compared to $535 in Port Victoria.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to basic local services, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or health services. This shared lack of local infrastructure is reflected in their walkability scores, as both are car-dependent. While both have older populations compared to the national figure, residents in Parsons Beach are noticeably older, with a typical age of 66 compared to 60 in Port Victoria.
