Palmer Tepko

Palmer (SA) and Tepko are two sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Palmer (SA) is larger and has more residents, with a far higher share of people born overseas (13.5% compared to 0.0% in Tepko) and a much higher proportion of volunteers (27.3% versus 0.0%). In contrast, Tepko has a far higher share of people who completed Year 12 (47.6% compared to 36.8% in Palmer (SA)) and more people who need help with daily activities (16.1% versus 6.0%).

Since 2011, these two nearby areas have tracked differently, but they share several core similarities. Both have very few people who speak little or no English and similar household sizes, with about 2.4 to 2.5 people per home. They are also effectively alike in their lack of local public transport and both are about an hour's drive from the city. This lack of local infrastructure is consistent across both areas, where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
