Mallala Clare

Clare and Mallala are both small South Australian towns, but they differ significantly in their layout and education levels. Clare is somewhat walkable, with 59.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a far higher share of residents with a bachelor degree (17.5%) compared to Mallala (7.4%). Mallala is car-dependent and more remote from the city, with a much lower share of people completing Year 12 (32.6%) than in Clare (44.7%).

Both towns share a very similar population makeup, with almost identical proportions of children under 15 and First Nations people. They also have nearly the same typical weekly household income of about $1,369. While they share these basics, the gap in educational attainment has widened since 2011, and Clare continues to have a far higher share of renters than Mallala.
