Port Victoria Wauraltee

Port Victoria and Wauraltee are two nearby areas on the Yorke Peninsula with very different profiles. Port Victoria is a retirement-heavy community where the typical resident is 60 and 41.6% of people are aged 65 and over. In contrast, Wauraltee is much younger, with a typical age of 35 and 27.5% of the population being children under 15. This age gap is reflected in the homes; Wauraltee has far more large families, with 79.7% of households being couples with children, while Port Victoria has more people living alone. Wealth and education also differ sharply, as typical weekly household income is far higher in Wauraltee at $1,792 compared to $946 in Port Victoria.

Both areas are very isolated, with neither having a 15-minute walk to a school, park, or health service. They are also alike in that no one uses public transport to commute and every home has at least one motor vehicle. While they share these remote characteristics, the two places have diverged in other ways. Wauraltee has a much higher share of adults working or looking for work at 78.8%, compared to just 36.1% in Port Victoria.
