Nullarbor vs Watraba

Nullarbor and Watraba are both sparsely populated areas of South Australia. Nullarbor is the larger of the two with 71 people, while Watraba is largely non-residential with a population of zero. There are a few small differences in accessibility; Nullarbor has a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries at 7.3%, and it has a far larger number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with four compared to none in Watraba.

Both areas are almost entirely car-dependent and lack basic local services. The gap between them remains wide in terms of amenity access, as Nullarbor has far more walkable amenities and a well higher share of homes near groceries. They share very similar terrain and neither area provides residents with a 15-minute walk to parks, schools, or health services.
