Crafers - Bridgewater McLaren Vale

Crafers - Bridgewater and McLaren Vale are two different South Australian settings. Crafers - Bridgewater is a wealthier area where 43.3% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, and typical weekly household income is far higher at $2,301. In contrast, McLaren Vale is much older, with a typical resident aged 55 and 35% of the population aged 65 and over. This older profile is consistent with a higher share of people with long-term health conditions, which is 38.6% compared to 28.5% in Crafers - Bridgewater.
