Orroroo Napperby

Orroroo and Napperby are two South Australian areas with very different own-pace lifestyles. Orroroo is an older area where the typical resident is 55, and it is very walkable with many residents living within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Napperby is car-dependent and much younger, with 26.1% of people under 15 compared to just 13.0% in Orroroo. Napperby also has a higher share of families with children, which helps explain why 29.9% of people there provide unpaid childcare, compared to 16.9% in Orroroo.

Typical personal incomes are almost identical in both places, sitting at around $564 to $566 a week. While they share similar education levels and housing rent rates, they have moved in opposite directions since 2011. The age gap has widened as Orroroo has grown older, and the difference in religious views has flipped, with no religion now far more common in Napperby.
