Ceduna Tumby Bay

Ceduna and Tumby Bay are two South Australian regional areas with very different social profiles. Ceduna has a much larger First Nations population at 24.8%, compared to 2.2% in Tumby Bay, and 20.9% of its residents speak a First Nations language. In contrast, Tumby Bay is far older, with a typical resident aged 52 and 30.8% of the population aged 65 and over, while Ceduna's typical resident is 40. These differences extend to housing; 51.4% of Tumby Bay homes are owned outright, whereas 37.3% of Ceduna households are renting.

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged further in some ways and converged in others. The age gap has widened, and the difference in home ownership has grown, but the gap in First Nations population shares has narrowed. They remain very similar in other aspects, such as the number of people who have moved recently and the typical weekly rent of around $200 to $210. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
