Malpas Taplan

Taplan and Malpas are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. The biggest differences are in income and age; typical weekly family income is far higher in Malpas at $4,399 compared to $1,624 in Taplan. Residents are also far older in Malpas, where the typical age is 63, while in Taplan it is 50.

Everyday life in both places is very similar, as both are car-dependent with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, groceries, health services, or public transport. This shared isolation is consistent across both areas, and they both sit well below the national figure for typical weekly household income.
