Ceduna Elliston

Ceduna and Elliston are two regional South Australian areas with very different social profiles. Ceduna has a much larger First Nations population at 24.8%, compared to 3.8% in Elliston, and is far more likely to have residents who speak a First Nations language. There is also a sharp contrast in housing; 37.3% of households in Ceduna rent, while 52.6% of homes in Elliston are owned outright. Elliston is more reliant on agriculture, with 47.2% of workers in that industry, whereas Ceduna's workforce is more varied, with more people in health and retail.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for overall advantage. They also share similar family setups, with about 20% of their populations being children under 15 and typical households containing between 2.3 and 2.4 people. Over time, some of the gaps between them are closing; the difference in volunteer rates and the age gap between the two populations have both narrowed since 2011.
