Curramulka Sandilands

Curramulka and Sandilands (SA) are two nearby rural areas on the Yorke Peninsula, though they differ in their social and economic make-up. Sandilands (SA) is a smaller, more family-oriented place where children under 15 make up 31.8% of the population and 100% of homes have three or more bedrooms. It is also more affluent, with a typical household income of $1,625 per week compared to $1,224 in Curramulka. In contrast, Curramulka has a more diverse outlook; nearly half its residents (49.7%) report having no religion, and it offers more local amenities, with 46.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school.

Both areas have remained very similar in some ways since 2011, and they continue to share a lack of public transport and a low number of overseas-born residents. While they have tracked together in these respects, other gaps have shifted. Sandilands (SA) has seen a much larger rise in people working from home, reaching 50%, while Curramulka remains older, with a typical resident aged 48 compared to 41 in Sandilands (SA).
