Ceduna Denial Bay

Ceduna and Denial Bay are nearby South Australian areas with very different characters. Ceduna is a more active hub where 42.4% of households rent and the typical weekly household income is $1,376. It is a much younger place, with a typical resident aged 37, and has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 26.4%. Denial Bay is more residential and older, with a typical age of 46 and a far higher share of homes owned outright at 40.9%.

Daily life in both places shares a similar family structure, with children under 15 making up 21.6% of the population in each. This commonality exists alongside a sharp contrast in accessibility; Ceduna is somewhat walkable with many homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, while Denial Bay is car-dependent. This gap in walkability is a key difference between the two, as is the fact that residents in Denial Bay are far older, with 26.1% aged 65 and over compared to 18.1% in Ceduna.
