Maralinga Tjarutja Unincorporated SA

Maralinga Tjarutja and Unincorporated SA are both sparsely populated areas of South Australia, but they differ sharply in their makeup. Maralinga Tjarutja has a much stronger First Nations presence, with 70.8% of residents identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander compared to 24.4% in Unincorporated SA. This is reflected in language use, as 91.2% of people in Maralinga Tjarutja speak a First Nations language, which is far higher than the 49.5% in Unincorporated SA. There are also large gaps in income; the typical weekly family income in Unincorporated SA is $1,417, far higher than the $725 found in Maralinga Tjarutja.

Everyday life in both places is shaped by a similar lack of access to money and resources, with both scoring at the bottom of the scale for overall advantage. While they share these challenges, the gaps between them are shifting. The difference in the share of First Nations people and those using another language at home has narrowed since 2011. However, the gap in home ownership has widened, as 36.5% of homes in Unincorporated SA are owned outright, while none are in Maralinga Tjarutja.
