Claypans Nildottie

Nildottie and Claypans are two sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Nildottie is the larger of the two, with 220 people, while Claypans is largely non-residential with only 4 residents. There are significant differences in income; typical weekly household income is far higher in Claypans at $1,499 compared to $861 in Nildottie. Nildottie is also more connected, with more public transport stops and routes, and residents are noticeably older, with a typical age of 56 compared to 50 in Claypans.

Both areas are equally remote, with an identical 130-minute drive to the city. They also share a lack of local services, as no homes in either place are within a 15-minute walk of a school or health service. While both are car-dependent, the gap in typical incomes remains far higher in Claypans, and Nildottie continues to have a far larger population of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
