Balhannah Hahndorf

Hahndorf and Balhannah are neighbouring South Australian towns with distinct characters. Hahndorf is more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (96.4% compared to 67.8%) and health services. It is also a much older area; the typical resident is 51, and 32.4% of people are aged 65 or over, which is far higher than the 22.2% seen in Balhannah.

These two areas share a very similar social and economic profile, with nearly identical rates of university qualifications, typical weekly incomes, and volunteer levels.
