Ceduna Laura Bay

Ceduna and Laura Bay are nearby areas in South Australia with very different profiles. Ceduna is a larger hub where the typical resident is 37, while Laura Bay is sparsely populated and has a much older typical age of 64. This difference in scale is seen in their services; Ceduna is somewhat walkable with several schools and health services within a 15-minute walk, whereas Laura Bay is car-dependent. Incomes are also quite different, with the typical weekly family income in Ceduna being far higher at $1,819 compared to $900 in Laura Bay.

Both areas share a similar typical weekly household income of around $1,300. This common ground exists despite other sharp contrasts, such as Ceduna having far more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and a larger typical household size. While Ceduna has a higher number of public transport stops and routes, Laura Bay has a higher share of its few amenities dedicated to parks.
