Barunga Gap Snowtown

Snowtown and Barunga Gap are neighbouring South Australian areas with very different profiles. Snowtown is a more established centre where residents are far older, with a typical age of 54 and 29.6% being seniors. In contrast, Barunga Gap is a sparsely populated area where the typical resident is just 27 and children under 15 make up 34.8% of the population. This age difference is reflected in health and income; Snowtown has far more people with long-term health conditions (44.5%), while Barunga Gap has a far higher typical weekly household income of $1,749 compared to $771 in Snowtown.

Everyday life in both places is car-dependent, as both are considered car-dependent in terms of walkability and neither has homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. While Snowtown has more amenities, such as a school and a few grocery options within walking distance, both areas are far from the city. They also share a similar lack of residents who speak little or no English.
