Loxton Pinnaroo

Loxton and Pinnaroo (L) are two South Australian towns with distinct profiles. Loxton is larger and has a higher proportion of children under 15 (17.6%) and an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population that is well higher than that of Pinnaroo (L) (3.7% compared to 0.7%). Pinnaroo (L) stands out for its higher share of recent overseas arrivals (34.9%) and a much stronger prevalence of separate houses (94.3%). While Loxton has more people within a 10-minute walk of public transport, Pinnaroo (L) is generally more walkable, with more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, groceries, and schools.

Typical weekly incomes and bachelor degree rates are effectively alike in both places. However, the gap in typical monthly home-loan payments has widened and flipped since 2011; it is now far higher in Loxton at $1,040 compared to $542 in Pinnaroo (L). Both towns have an older population than the national figure, though the gap between them in this regard has narrowed recently.
