Bordertown Pinnaroo

Bordertown and Pinnaroo (L) are two South Australian towns with very different layouts and populations. Bordertown is larger and more diverse, with 21.5% of people born overseas and a higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (82.0%). In contrast, Pinnaroo (L) is more compact and walkable, with a far higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (85.1% compared to 54.5% in Bordertown) and more people living alone (42.8% versus 29.8%).

Since 2011, the two towns have tracked in opposite directions across several measures. For example, the gap in the typical age of residents has widened, with Pinnaroo (L) now noticeably older at 46. While their trajectories differ, they are almost identical in some areas, such as their typical weekly family incomes and the share of adults with a bachelor degree. Both towns also see very few people commuting by public transport.
