Onkaparinga Yankalilla

Onkaparinga and Yankalilla are two South Australian areas with very different lifestyles. Onkaparinga is a larger, more urban environment where the typical resident is 41 and the area is somewhat walkable. Yankalilla is much more rural and car-dependent, with a far older population; its typical resident is 56, and 33.9% of people are aged 65 or over. This age difference is reflected in the housing and workforce, as Yankalilla has far more homes owned outright (48.2%) and a much lower share of adults working or looking for work (47.9%) compared to Onkaparinga.

Both areas sit at a similar level of overall advantage, each scoring around 5 out of 10. They also share very similar proportions of First Nations people and people who need help with daily activities. However, the gaps in age and home ownership have widened since 2011. Onkaparinga has also seen a far greater level of investment in infrastructure, with significantly more public transport stops and a much higher number of schools than Yankalilla.
