Gemmells Willyaroo

Willyaroo and Gemmells are two nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Willyaroo is older, with a typical resident aged 47, and has a higher share of people aged 65 and over at 24.5%. In contrast, Gemmells is younger and wealthier; its typical household income is $2,333 a week, which is far higher than the $1,390 typical in Willyaroo. Gemmells also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 26.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 14.2% in Willyaroo.

Everyday life in both places is very similar in some ways, as nearly every home is a separate house and no one commutes by public transport. Both areas are largely car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, or grocery store. While Willyaroo has more public transport stops and better street connectivity, both areas remain far from the national figure for walkability.
