Sultana Point Wool Bay

Wool Bay and Sultana Point are two sparsely populated areas on the Yorke Peninsula. Wool Bay is older and more focused on care, with 11.7% of people needing help with daily activities and 18.4% providing unpaid care. It is also more likely to be a place of unpaid domestic work, with 39.0% of people doing 15 or more hours of housework per week. In contrast, Sultana Point has a much higher share of volunteers at 37.0% and more people born overseas at 18.5%.

Both areas have a similar typical weekly household income, which sits around $700. They share several common traits, including a lack of residents who speak a language other than English and a total absence of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. While Wool Bay has more public transport stops and walkable amenities, both are essentially car-dependent, with neither area having any homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, grocery store, or health service.
