Kimba Unincorporated SA

Unincorporated SA and Kimba are both sparsely populated South Australian areas, but they differ in their social and cultural makeup. Unincorporated SA has a far higher proportion of First Nations people (24.4% compared to 1.3% in Kimba) and a far higher share of people using another language at home (15.6% versus 1.7%).
