Charra Yalata

Yalata and Charra are two very different South Australian areas. Yalata is a young community where 88.5% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and 78.0% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Charra is a sparsely populated area where no one identifies as First Nations and everyone speaks English. Economic gaps are wide, with the typical weekly household income in Charra being $2,750, far higher than the $1,142 seen in Yalata.

Both areas have remained steady in their trends since 2011, with neither seeing a major shift in its core makeup. They are both car-dependent, and neither has a single home within a 10-minute walk of public transport or groceries. They also share similar rates of people moving in over the last five years, at about 19% each.
