Black Hill Sunnydale

Black Hill (SA) and Sunnydale are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Sunnydale has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 68 and 69.2% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Black Hill (SA) is younger, with a typical age of 55. Black Hill (SA) also has more diverse residents, with 15.6% using another language at home and 6.7% identifying as First Nations, while Sunnydale has 0.0% for both. Other gaps are stark: people in de facto relationships are far more common in Black Hill (SA), and the typical monthly home-loan payment is far higher there at $1,639 compared to $643 in Sunnydale.

Both areas are effectively identical in their housing and remoteness, as every home in both places is a separate detached house. They also share the same lack of local infrastructure, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, health services, or groceries. Despite these shared constraints, the two areas have tracked differently since 2011; for example, people in Sunnydale have been more likely to move in the last five years.
