Penong Yalata

Yalata and Penong are two sparsely populated areas of South Australia with very different social profiles. Yalata is a young community where 88.5% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and 78% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Penong has a much older population with a typical age of 49, and it is far more likely that residents own their homes outright, at 52.5%. Typical weekly personal income is also far higher in Penong at $656, compared to $409 in Yalata.

Both areas share a similar typical weekly household income of around $1,100 and both have one school. However, the gap in home ownership is widening, as Yalata has a far higher share of renters at 82.4%. This difference is consistent with the age profiles of the two places; Yalata's typical resident is just 28, while Penong's is far older than the national figure.
