Renmark Cobdogla

Renmark and Cobdogla (L) are two nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Renmark is more diverse and active, with 17.7% of people born overseas and 16.7% using a language other than English at home. It is also much more accessible; it is very walkable, and most homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Cobdogla (L) is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 56 compared to 44 in Renmark. Home ownership is also higher there, with 47.5% of homes owned outright.

Recent arrivals from overseas have created a widening gap between the two, with 23.1% of Renmark's population arriving in the last five years compared to just 5.6% in Cobdogla (L). Despite this, the two areas share several similarities. They have nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,000 and similar proportions of people aged 65 and over. Both areas also have about the same percentage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents.
