Booborowie Hilltown

Booborowie and Hilltown are two small South Australian areas with very different profiles. Booborowie is much older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 29.3% of people aged 65 and over. This age profile is consistent with a higher rate of long-term health conditions (45.4%) and more people providing unpaid care (20.6%). Hilltown is younger, with a typical age of 38, and has far more people in de facto relationships (18.8% compared to 7.9% in Booborowie). Hilltown also sees far higher typical weekly personal incomes of $900, compared to $557 in Booborowie.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining remote places where no one uses public transport to commute and almost no one speaks a language other than English at home. They share similar terrain and are both about two hours from the city. While Booborowie has more local amenities like a school and a park within walking distance, both areas are largely car-dependent, as neither has a single home within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
