Penola Tatiara

Tatiara and Penola are two South Australian areas with distinct profiles. Tatiara has a much larger school system with 1,013 enrolments and typical school sizes of 203 students, compared to Penola's 343 enrolments and schools averaging 69 students. Tatiara is also more diverse, with a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals (31.9% versus 12.2% in Penola) and a larger First Nations population that is far younger, with a typical age of 20 compared to 29 in Penola. Tatiara's First Nations community also faces more challenge, with a 14.3% unemployment rate compared to 0.0% in Penola.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in typical age has widened to six years, and Penola now has a noticeably higher share of people aged 65 and over. However, the gap in overseas arrivals has narrowed over the last decade. Both areas share similar family life, with about 18% of their populations being children under 15 and an almost identical number of people per home.
