Wasleys Woolsheds

Wasleys and Woolsheds are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very different profiles. Wasleys is a much larger community where the typical resident is just 30, while Woolsheds is sparsely populated with a typical age of 48. There is a stark contrast in family life; children under 15 make up 19.2% of the population in Wasleys, compared to none in Woolsheds. Wasleys is also far more mobile, with 45.2% of people moving in the last five years, and it has a much higher share of people with no religion at 61.5%. In contrast, Woolsheds has far higher typical weekly family incomes at $3,249.

Both areas share a similar number of people per home and have nearly identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. This common ground exists despite differences in how people get around. Wasleys is mostly car-dependent, but it is far more walkable than Woolsheds, which is strictly car-dependent. While Wasleys has several amenities within a 15-minute walk, such as groceries and schools, Woolsheds has none. These gaps in accessibility and population age remain significant between the two neighbours.
