Flinders Narungga

Flinders and Narungga are two distant South Australian areas with very different profiles. Narungga is much older, with a typical resident aged 55 and 32.8% of people aged 65 or over. Flinders is younger, with a typical age of 44 and a well higher share of children under 15 (18.8% compared to 14.4% in Narungga). Economic gaps are also wide; typical weekly household income is well higher in Flinders at $1,279, while Narungga's typical household earns $994. Flinders also has a well higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 7.4%.

Since 2011, the two areas have moved in opposite directions across several measures. The age gap has widened, while the lead has flipped for children under 15 and those working or looking for work. Despite these shifts, they share a similar daily reality in some ways. Both are mostly car-dependent, and they have almost identical shares of one-parent families and homes with three or more bedrooms. They also both sit well below the national figure for typical household income.
