Sandalwood Schell Well

Sandalwood and Schell Well are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. They differ sharply in wealth and age; the typical resident in Schell Well is far older at 66, compared to 48 in Sandalwood. This age difference is paired with a large gap in income, as typical weekly household earnings in Schell Well are far higher at $2,750, while Sandalwood is much lower at $1,062.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very quiet, car-dependent locations. They share a lack of local services, with no homes within walking distance of schools, groceries, or health services. This is consistent with the national figure for very remote areas, where residents rely almost entirely on vehicles for everyday needs.
