Coonamia Solomontown

Solomontown and Coonamia are neighbouring areas in South Australia, but they differ sharply in their layout and wealth. Solomontown is a more populated, somewhat walkable area where many people live alone (40%) and rent (34.5%). It has a higher proportion of seniors, with 22.1% aged 65 and over, and an unemployment rate of 12.3%. In contrast, Coonamia is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a typical weekly family income of $2,125, which is far higher than Solomontown's $1,254.

Everyday life in both places shares some common ground, as they have similar rates of people in de facto relationships and very few residents who speak little or no English. While Solomontown provides much better access to public transport and shops, Coonamia has a higher share of full-time employment at 67.4%. Since 2011, these two areas have remained similar in their levels of mental health conditions and the number of people who have moved recently.
