Oakden Hills Woomera

Woomera and Oakden Hills are both rural South Australian areas, but they differ sharply in how they are built. Woomera is a small hub where nearly all homes (99.7%) are within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries, and parks, making it somewhat walkable. Oakden Hills is largely non-residential and car-dependent, with a population of just 5 people. Woomera is also more diverse, with a larger number of First Nations people, whose typical age is far younger at 18 compared to 46 in Oakden Hills.

Both areas are entirely without nearby public transport, with no homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop. While they share this lack of transit, their typical incomes differ, with the usual weekly personal income well higher in Oakden Hills at $1,649 compared to $1,275 in Woomera. This difference is also seen in household pay, which is a little higher in Oakden Hills at $2,250 per week.
