Tumby Bay Wudinna

Tumby Bay and Wudinna are rural South Australian areas with distinct demographic profiles. Tumby Bay is far older, with a typical resident aged 52 and 30.8% of the population aged 65 and over. In contrast, Wudinna is younger, with a typical age of 43 and a higher share of children under 15 (21.7%). Wudinna also has a more active workforce, with 64.5% of adults working or looking for work compared to 53.1% in Tumby Bay. This difference extends to the home, where homes with three or more bedrooms are far more common in Wudinna (85.3%) than in Tumby Bay (73.1%).

These two areas have tracked in different directions since 2011, with the gap in senior residents widening while the age difference between typical residents has narrowed. Despite these diverging trends, they share several characteristics: both have about the same share of First Nations people (around 2.1%) and nearly identical rates of Year 12 completion. They also both have a high proportion of volunteers compared to the national figure, though this is even more pronounced in Wudinna.
