Flaxley Gemmells

Flaxley and Gemmells are two sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Residents are far older in Flaxley, where the typical person is 48, compared to 39 in Gemmells. Flaxley has a far higher share of people who finished Year 12 (62.1% versus 46.3%) and a higher number of homes owned outright (42.4% compared to 29.4%). In contrast, Gemmells has a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (35.3% versus 22.0%) and more people working full-time.

Both areas are almost identical in their housing styles, with every home being a separate house. They also share a total reliance on cars, as no one in either area commutes by public transport. This lack of transit is reflected in the fact that neither area has any public transport stops. While Flaxley has more people living alone, both places have a similar proportion of one-parent families and very similar typical monthly mortgage payments.
