Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 8.4 km apart · Urania profile · Wauraltee profile

Urania Wauraltee

Wauraltee and Urania are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. Wauraltee is noticeably younger, with a typical resident aged 35 compared to 51 in Urania. This younger age profile is consistent with a higher share of people working or looking for work (78.8% versus 51.4%) and a much higher rate of people caring for children unpaid (57.7% compared to 29.7%). In contrast, Urania is far more likely to have residents who volunteer (40.5% versus 28.8%) and has a typical monthly home-loan payment that is far higher at $6,500, compared to just $867 in Wauraltee.

These two neighbours have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very alike in several core ways. Both areas share the same typical weekly household income of $1,792 and have an identical drive time to the city of about 116 minutes. They are also effectively the same in terms of their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations and the fact that no residents use a language other than English at home.
