Iwantja Marla

Iwantja and Marla are two small South Australian areas with very different profiles. Iwantja is a young community where 92% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and the typical resident is just 26. In contrast, Marla is sparsely populated with a much older typical resident of 46. There are also significant differences in income and education; the typical weekly personal income in Marla is $1,075, far higher than the $266 seen in Iwantja, and half of Marla's residents finished Year 12 compared to 17.2% in Iwantja.

Both areas share a similar typical weekly household income of around $1,300. This is one of the few commonalities between them, as Marla sees far more people born overseas (31.6% compared to 1.5% in Iwantja) and a much higher rate of full-time employment. Iwantja is more likely to have large households with 4.6 people per home, which helps explain why 56.1% of residents there are caring for children unpaid, a much higher share than the 22.2% in Marla.
