Pike River Renmark

Renmark and Pike River are nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Renmark is a larger hub where 36.5% of homes are rented and 21% of families are one-parent households. In contrast, Pike River is sparsely populated and more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,875 compared to $1,017 in Renmark. Pike River also has a much higher rate of home ownership, with 45.5% of homes owned outright, while Renmark has more people living alone (34.9%) and far more who have moved in the last five years (40.1%).

Both areas share a similar percentage of children under 15 and a nearly identical share of people born overseas. While Renmark is very walkable and Pike River is car-dependent, they are alike in that very few people in either place use public transport to commute.
