Willunga Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island and Willunga are both South Australian areas with similar populations, but they differ sharply in wealth and accessibility. Willunga has a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (21.1% compared to 9.5%) and a typical monthly home-loan payment that is $710 higher. It is also much more walkable, with 52% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, while only 11.9% of homes on Kangaroo Island have the same access. In contrast, Kangaroo Island has a far higher share of people living alone, at 33.9% compared to 18.7% in Willunga.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of homes owned outright, at around 43%. They also share similar proportions of children under 15 and a nearly identical number of people per bedroom. While they have much in common, some gaps are growing; the difference in Year 12 completion has widened since 2011, and the gap in typical monthly mortgage payments has more than doubled.
