Tanunda and Truro (L) are nearby South Australian towns with very different social profiles. Tanunda is a larger centre where residents are noticeably older, with 28.1% aged 65 and over compared to 16.2% in Truro (L). Tanunda also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 19.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, while 8.8% do in Truro (L).
