Chinaman Wells vs Urania

Urania and Chinaman Wells are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Urania has a population of 44 people, while Chinaman Wells is much smaller with only 4 residents. There are significant differences in wealth and age; the typical weekly household income in Urania is far higher at $1,792, compared to just $500 in Chinaman Wells. Residents in Chinaman Wells are also far older, with a typical age of 59, while the typical resident in Urania is 51.

Both areas have remained very car-dependent over time, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, or grocery store. They have tracked similarly since 2011 in this regard, with neither area seeing an increase in walkable amenities. This lack of infrastructure is consistent across both, though Urania has a few more public transport stops and a shorter drive time to the city than Chinaman Wells.
