Alloway Woongarra

Woongarra and Alloway are neighbouring rural areas with similar populations. The biggest differences are in income and education; the typical weekly household income in Woongarra is $2,010, which is well higher than the $1,420 seen in Alloway. This is consistent with Woongarra having a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (11.7% compared to 7.0%) and more people finishing Year 12. Alloway has a much higher proportion of recent overseas arrivals at 29.6%, compared to 11.8% in Woongarra.

Both areas are very similar in their home life, with almost identical shares of children under 15 and people aged 65 and over. They are also alike in their housing, as 100% of homes in both places are separate houses. While they share these traits, the gap in typical household income has remained significant, and Woongarra continues to have a well higher share of people working or looking for work.
