Clare vs Auburn

Urban Centre comparison ≈ 22 km apart · Clare profile · Auburn profile

Clare Auburn

Clare and Auburn (L) are nearby South Australian areas with very different profiles. Auburn (L) is much smaller and more concentrated, where every single home is within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, and a park. Residents there are far older, with a typical age of 56, and a higher share of people own their homes outright at 47.9%. In contrast, Clare has a younger feel, with a typical age of 45 and a higher proportion of children under 15 (16.3%).

Since 2011, the age gap between the two has widened, with Auburn (L) becoming significantly older than Clare. Despite this, they share very similar weekly personal and family incomes, and both have similar unemployment rates. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for people aged 65 and over, though this is more pronounced in Auburn (L) where 33.5% of residents are seniors.
