Clare Spring Farm

Clare (SA) and Spring Farm (SA) are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different social and economic profiles. Clare (SA) is a larger hub with a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (26.1%) and more residents with long-term health conditions. In contrast, Spring Farm (SA) is a smaller, more affluent area where the typical household income is far higher at $2,250 compared to $1,302 in Clare (SA). This wealth is reflected in the workforce, with Spring Farm (SA) seeing a far higher share of adults working or looking for work (72.8%).

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, as both maintain almost identical typical weekly rents of $250 and a similar share of people born overseas. While they share these basics, their daily environments differ greatly; Clare (SA) is somewhat walkable with many homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and groceries, whereas Spring Farm (SA) is car-dependent and lacks nearby public transport.
