Jamestown Orroroo

Jamestown and Orroroo (L) are two South Australian towns located about 53 km apart. Jamestown is generally wealthier, with a typical weekly income of $719 compared to $566 in Orroroo (L). It also has a higher share of people who finished Year 12 (42.0% versus 34.7%) and more children under 15. In contrast, Orroroo (L) is more walkable; a higher share of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries (85.5% compared to 73.9%), parks and public transport. The town has more walkable amenities per 1,000 residents and a higher proportion of homes owned outright.

Both towns have a similar share of people who do not identify with any religion, with Jamestown at 39.6% and Orroroo (L) at 36.4%, sitting close to the national figure. They also share very similar household sizes and a nearly identical percentage of full-time workers. Over time, some of the gaps have shifted.
