In contrast, Drysdale is very walkable with a much younger population, where the typical resident is 33 and 48% of homes are rented. Drysdale also has a far higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents at 19.5%, compared to 8.5% in Goyder.
Both areas have similar shares of people who speak little or no English, which sits at 2% for each and is well below the national figure.
