Coomunga Tulka

Coomunga and Tulka are two sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Coomunga is notably younger, with a typical resident aged 35 and 19.5% of the population being children under 15. This helps explain why homes are larger, with 89.5% having three or more bedrooms, and more people are caring for children unpaid. In contrast, Tulka is much older, with a typical age of 52 and a higher share of people living alone at 21.7%. Tulka also has a much higher proportion of people with no religion, at 57.1% compared to 30.1% in Coomunga.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over. They share many similarities in daily life, including the fact that every home is a separate house and no one commutes by public transport. While Tulka has a few more walkable amenities, the gap between the two is widening in some areas; for example, the difference in the proportion of people working from home has grown, with 15.9% in Coomunga compared to none in Tulka.
