East Moonta Weetulta

East Moonta and Weetulta are two small South Australian areas with very different profiles. East Moonta is an older community where the typical resident is 55 and 30% are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Weetulta is much younger, with a typical age of 39 and a high share of children under 15 at 36.2%. Weetulta also sees much higher incomes, with a typical household earning $2,625 weekly compared to $1,024 in East Moonta, and a larger share of residents working in agriculture.

Everyday life in both places is car-dependent, and neither area has any residents who use public transport to get to work. This shared reliance on cars is consistent with both areas having a drive time to the city of over 100 minutes. While they share these basics, other gaps remain wide: East Moonta has far more people born overseas and a higher share of residents with long-term health conditions, while Weetulta has far more volunteers and people working from home.
