Davenport

1 km²

Davenport has remained a small, stable community in Port Augusta through the 2021 census. It is a car-dependent area where almost every home is within a short walk of public transport, yet most daily needs require a drive. The community is marked by a significant First Nations presence, where traditional languages are much more common than in the rest of the state.
