Boors Plain Matta Flat

Matta Flat and Boors Plain are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Residents in Matta Flat are far older, with a typical age of 43 and 25.6% aged 65 and over, compared to 34 and 8.9% in Boors Plain. Matta Flat has a far higher share of people with long-term health conditions (45.1% vs 26.8%) and more homes owned outright (58.6% vs 38.1%). In contrast, Boors Plain has a far higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (11.4% vs 0.0%) and those in de facto relationships (22.9% vs 12.1%).

Both areas are effectively alike in that every single home is a separate house and no one uses public transport to get to work. This shared reliance on cars is consistent with the surroundings, as both areas are car-dependent or mostly car-dependent. While Matta Flat has a slightly more walkable layout with some nearby parks and groceries, both locations remain largely rural and isolated from the national figure for typical rent.
