Myponga Sellicks Hill

Myponga and Sellicks Hill are neighbouring South Australian areas with very different populations. Myponga is much younger, with 22.4% of residents under 15 and a typical age of 38. This helps explain why 33.4% of its people provide unpaid childcare. In contrast, residents are far older in Sellicks Hill, where the typical age is 51 and 23.7% of people are aged 65 and over. Myponga is also more walkable (mostly car-dependent) than Sellicks Hill (car-dependent), with nearly half of its homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or groceries, while Sellicks Hill has no homes within that distance of either.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the typical age of residents, though they differ in their specific age brackets. They share very similar typical weekly personal incomes, around $670 to $704, and have the same share of adults working or looking for work at 65.9%. While Myponga has far more public transport stops and departures, the gap in street connectivity is small, with Sellicks Hill being slightly higher.
