Hindmarsh Southern Mallee

Hindmarsh and Southern Mallee are both sparsely populated rural areas, though they differ in their layout and demographics. Hindmarsh is more walkable, with 68% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 69.8% within reach of a school. Its population is also older, with a typical age of 50 and 28.1% of residents aged 65 or over. In contrast, Southern Mallee has more recent overseas arrivals, who make up 34.1% of the population, and its residents have generally better access to money and resources.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, at around 11%. They also share very similar household profiles, with the same number of people per home and bedroom. However, some gaps are widening; the typical age in Hindmarsh is now 5 years older than in Southern Mallee, up from 4 years in 2011. The share of people born overseas is also higher in Southern Mallee by a wider margin than it was a decade ago.
