Urban Centre comparison ≈ 58 km apart · Robe profile · Lucindale profile

Robe Lucindale

Robe and Lucindale (L) are both South Australian towns, but they differ in scale and layout. Robe is the more developed of the two, with a somewhat walkable environment where 63.3% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Lucindale (L) is car-dependent and lacks similar access. Robe also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 47.1% of residents completing Year 12 compared to 32.5% in Lucindale (L). This is reflected in the housing market, where typical weekly rents are far higher in Robe at $250, while Lucindale (L) is just $150.

Since 2011, the two towns have seen their differences shift, though they remain similar in several ways. The gap in typical weekly incomes has narrowed significantly, with Robe now $151 higher than Lucindale (L). However, the difference in school completion and university degrees has widened over the last decade. Despite these diverging trends, both areas share a typical resident age of 55 and have nearly identical shares of children under 15.
