Tanunda has far more people with a bachelor degree or higher (19.1% compared to 7.5% in Waikerie) and a much higher share of residents who completed Year 12 (49.3% versus 32.4%). Tanunda is also more walkable, with a score of 5.1 (somewhat walkable), while Waikerie is mostly car-dependent with a score of 2.2.
