Avoca Dell Long Flat

Avoca Dell and Long Flat (SA) are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different age profiles. Avoca Dell is much younger, with a typical resident aged 35 and 25.9% of people being children under 15. This helps explain why 43.4% of people there are unpaid carers for children. In contrast, Long Flat (SA) is far older, with a typical age of 57 and a high share of seniors aged 65 and over at 28.2%. These differences extend to home ownership; 56.1% of Long Flat (SA) residents own their home outright, compared to just 29.1% in Avoca Dell.

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly household income, which sits around $2,000. They are also alike in that no one in either area uses public transport to commute.
