South Wolumla Toothdale

Toothdale and South Wolumla are neighbouring rural areas with similar populations, but they differ in their typical incomes and demographics. Toothdale has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,978 compared to $1,471 in South Wolumla. Education and employment also vary, with Toothdale having a well higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (22.5% compared to 14.1%) and more people working from home. In contrast, South Wolumla has a far higher typical personal income for First Nations residents ($1,124 compared to $575) and far older First Nations residents, who have a typical age of 37 compared to just 16 in Toothdale.

These two areas share a very similar profile in other ways, such as having the same typical resident age of 48 and nearly identical shares of children under 15. They are both largely car-dependent, with no public transport routes and very few walkable amenities. While they track closely across many measures, the gap in home ownership is notable, with South Wolumla seeing a well higher share of homes owned outright (54.7% compared to 45.7% in Toothdale).
