Point Pearce Urania

Point Pearce and Urania are two sparsely populated areas in South Australia. They differ sharply in their makeup: Point Pearce is a very young area where the typical resident is 26, and 93.2% of the population is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. In contrast, residents are far older in Urania, with a typical age of 51. This difference extends to income and education, with typical weekly household income far higher in Urania ($1,792) than in Point Pearce ($433), and far more people in Urania having completed Year 12.

Both areas are similarly remote, with a drive time to the city of around 115 to 118 minutes. They are also alike in their lack of local services, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or schools. While they share these logistical challenges, the two areas are very different in how they function, with a far higher share of volunteers and unpaid carers in Urania.
