Bowhill Claypans

Bowhill and Claypans are two sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Bowhill has more infrastructure and services, with one public transport route and stop, compared to none in Claypans. A far higher share of Bowhill homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park (45.7% versus 4.2%).
