Family & Households in Port Adelaide
How families and households are made up across the area.
More than a third of all homes in Port Adelaide are occupied by just one person, far exceeding the national figure. This trend means the area has a much lower number of people per home than most other places. While families make up a large part of the community, the high number of single-person households shapes the local living patterns.
