Coomunga Sleaford

Coomunga and Sleaford are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Coomunga is a much younger place, where the typical resident is 35 and children under 15 make up 19.5% of the population. In contrast, Sleaford is far older, with a typical age of 53 and no children under 15. This difference is reflected in daily life; 29.8% of people in Coomunga are unpaid carers for children, compared to just 9.7% in Sleaford.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining largely car-dependent with no residents within walking distance of public transport or groceries.
