Mortana Sceale Bay

Sceale Bay and Mortana are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. They differ sharply in their demographics and wealth. Sceale Bay has a much older population, with a typical age of 58 compared to just 20 in Mortana. This age difference is reflected in health outcomes, as long-term health conditions are far higher in Sceale Bay at 40% compared to 17.4% in Mortana. In contrast, Mortana is much wealthier, with a typical weekly family income of $2,749, which is far higher than the $1,062 seen in Sceale Bay.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, both remaining very small in population and completely car-dependent. They share a total lack of public transport and no residents who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. While Sceale Bay has far more people born overseas and a higher share of people with no religion, both areas sit well below the national figure for those who speak a language other than English at home.
