Berri Paringa

Berri and Paringa are two nearby South Australian areas with very different housing and social profiles. Berri has a far higher share of renters (41.3%) and one-parent families (24.5%), while Paringa is dominated by homeowners, with 94.1% of dwellings being separate houses compared to 78.1% in Berri. Paringa also sees much higher typical weekly personal incomes, at $806 compared to $610 in Berri. Berri is more walkable, with 79.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, whereas Paringa has no homes with that access.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the share of people who have no religion, sitting at around 47%. They also share similar typical monthly home-loan payments and weekly rents. However, the gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, and the difference in typical incomes has also grown. While Paringa's share of full-time employment is well higher, the gap in the number of adults working or looking for work has narrowed over time.
