Port Moorowie Yorketown

Yorketown and Port Moorowie are two nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Yorketown is more family-oriented, with 13.7% of people being children under 15, and it has a more functional town layout where 60.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school. In contrast, Port Moorowie is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical resident aged 65 and a high share of people who own their homes outright (79.1%). Port Moorowie also has a higher proportion of people born overseas (17.2%) and those who need help with daily activities (17.2%).

Both areas share a similar landscape with very little slope and an identical lack of public transport commuting. This lack of infrastructure is more stark in Port Moorowie, and the gap in walkability is widening, as Yorketown is mostly car-dependent while Port Moorowie is entirely car-dependent. While Yorketown has far more people working or looking for work, both areas sit far below the national figure for this measure.
