Brinkley Wellington

Wellington (SA) and Brinkley are two sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Wellington (SA) is much older, with a typical resident aged 58 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (27.2% compared to 14.0% in Brinkley). Brinkley has a more qualified workforce, with 44.4% of residents completing Year 12 compared to 22.0% in Wellington (SA). Brinkley also has more people working or looking for work (74.4% versus 51.8%) and higher typical weekly incomes, while Wellington (SA) has far more homes owned outright (57.3% versus 40.0%).

Both areas share a similar proportion of people born overseas and nearly identical typical weekly rents. They also both have zero percent of residents commuting by public transport and no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or groceries. While Wellington (SA) has more public transport stops and parks within walking distance, neither area has a 15-minute-city walkshed. These shared challenges in local access persist despite the gaps in age and income between the two places.
