Karoonda Moorlands

Karoonda and Moorlands are two small South Australian areas located about 30km apart. Karoonda is a larger settlement where residents are far older, with a typical age of 55 and 32.9% of people aged 65 and over. It has a higher need for health support, with 36.2% of people living with a long-term health condition and 10.4% needing help with daily activities. In contrast, Moorlands is sparsely populated and has a much younger First Nations population, with a typical age of 15 compared to 42 in Karoonda.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 as very quiet places where no one speaks a language other than English and no one commutes by public transport. While they share these traits, Karoonda is more walkable, with 61.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of local amenities. Moorlands is more car-dependent, though it has a higher share of people working from home at 30.3% and a higher rate of home ownership, with 61.9% of homes owned outright.
