Gemmells Wistow

Wistow and Gemmells are neighbouring South Australian areas with very different populations. Wistow is much older, with a typical resident aged 50 and 27.0% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Gemmells is far younger; the typical resident is 39, and 23.2% of the population are children under 15. This difference extends to housing and wealth, as homes are far more likely to be owned outright in Wistow (48.1%) than in Gemmells (29.4%), while typical weekly household incomes are well higher in Gemmells at $2,333 compared to $1,524 in Wistow.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who have served in the Defence Force. They are also alike in that every home is a separate house and no one commutes by public transport. While they share these traits, Wistow has slightly better access to the world around it, with more public transport stops and more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries.
