Kuitpo McLaren Flat

McLaren Flat and Kuitpo are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different populations. McLaren Flat is much younger, with 22.4% of residents being children under 15 and a typical age of 40. This is a family-focused area where 35.4% of people provide unpaid childcare. In contrast, residents in Kuitpo are far older, with a typical age of 55 and a much higher share of seniors at 26.8%. Kuitpo is also wealthier, with 41.2% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and a higher share of homes owned outright at 47.1%.

Both areas are almost entirely made up of separate houses and have nearly identical rates of volunteering. They also share a similar proportion of people in de facto relationships. While McLaren Flat is more connected—with a mostly car-dependent walkability score and many homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and parks—Kuitpo is strictly car-dependent. These differences in age and infrastructure remain stark, although both areas maintain high levels of residents who identify as having no religion compared to the national figure.
