Parawa Second Valley

Second Valley and Parawa are both sparsely populated South Australian areas, though they differ sharply in their demographics and wealth. Second Valley is far older, with a typical resident aged 65 and 46.1% of people aged 65 or over. It has a larger share of overseas-born residents (24.7%) and much lower typical incomes, with a typical personal weekly income of $515. In contrast, Parawa is younger and wealthier; its typical personal weekly income is far higher at $930, and 10.5% of households earn $3,000 or more per week.

These neighbouring areas have tracked similarly since 2011, as both remain almost exclusively made up of detached houses and have no one commuting by public transport. They share similar levels of university education and a small Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. While Second Valley is more walkable (mostly car-dependent) than Parawa (car-dependent) and has more public transport stops, both areas sit well below the national figure for the share of adults working or looking for work.
