Frances Wild Dog Valley

Wild Dog Valley (SA) and Frances are two sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Wild Dog Valley (SA) has a much older population, with a typical age of 48 and 30.7% of residents aged 65 and over, compared to 37 years and 6.5% in Frances. There are also notable differences in lifestyle and work; 29.6% of people in Wild Dog Valley (SA) work from home, while no one does so in Frances. Wild Dog Valley (SA) also has a higher proportion of people who finished Year 12 (49.1% versus 23.9%) and a higher typical weekly household income of $1,899, compared to $1,291 in Frances.

Both areas share a complete reliance on cars, with no one using public transport and no one living within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. This shared car-dependency stands out as the gaps in other areas, such as the 11-year difference in typical age and the 25 point gap in Year 12 completion, have widened over time. In both places, the population is very small, and neither has any residents who speak a language other than English at home.
