Rhynie Riverton

Riverton (SA) and Rhynie are neighbouring areas in South Australia. Riverton (SA) is the larger of the two and has a much more developed set of services, with three schools and a public transport system that serves 63.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk. In contrast, Rhynie has no schools within 3km and no public transport stops. There are also notable social differences; Riverton (SA) has a far higher share of one-parent families at 18.4% compared to 7.5% in Rhynie, and First Nations typical personal income is far higher in Riverton (SA) at $649 compared to $350 in Rhynie.

These two places have tracked similarly since 2011 in several ways, as they now share the same unemployment rate of 5.2% and almost identical shares of children under 15. While they are similar in those respects, the gap in access to transport and education remains a stark contrast between the two neighbours. In both areas, very few people speak little or no English, and typical weekly earnings for the top tier of residents are nearly the same.
