Terowie Ucolta

Terowie and Ucolta are two small, sparsely populated areas in South Australia. There are stark differences in their demographics and wealth; residents in Terowie are far older, with a typical age of 56 compared to 37 in Ucolta. Incomes are also very different, with typical weekly household income far higher in Ucolta at $2,250, while it is $589 in Terowie. Terowie has more local infrastructure, including a walkability score of 2.8 (mostly car-dependent) and more public transport stops, whereas Ucolta is car-dependent with no public transport stops.
