Echunga Totness

Echunga and Totness are neighbouring areas in South Australia, though they differ in scale and makeup. Echunga is a larger residential area where typical weekly rents are far higher at $320, compared to $190 in Totness. Totness is sparsely populated and has a very different housing profile, with a far higher share of people living alone (35.3% versus 16.1% in Echunga) and more homes owned outright. Families are more common in Echunga, where more people are in de facto relationships and more households have children to care for.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people born overseas. This commonality exists alongside a stark contrast in infrastructure; Totness has far more public transport departures and a much higher number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents. Meanwhile, Echunga is far more convenient for those without a car to reach a park or school. Over time, the gap in typical weekly income has remained significant, with Totness continuing to be well higher at $3,312 compared to $2,322 in Echunga.
