Mount Barker Kanmantoo

Mount Barker (SA) and Kanmantoo (L) are nearby South Australian areas with very different layouts. Mount Barker (SA) is a larger, somewhat walkable hub where 50.6% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed and 22.4% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Kanmantoo (L) is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, park or grocery store. Life in Mount Barker (SA) is also more mobile, with 48.6% of people moving in the last five years, compared to 31.6% in Kanmantoo (L).

Both areas share a typical resident age of 37 years. They also have very similar typical weekly household incomes, sitting around $1,700 to $1,800. While they are alike in these ways, other gaps are shifting; the difference in university qualifications has widened since 2011, and the lead in new arrivals has flipped since then to favour Mount Barker (SA).
