Echunga Willyaroo

Willyaroo and Echunga are two South Australian areas with similar population sizes but different profiles. Residents are far older in Willyaroo, where the typical person is 45, compared to 37 in Echunga. This age gap is reflected in the homes; Willyaroo has a much higher share of homes owned outright (44.0% compared to 27.6%) and larger houses, with 94.7% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Echunga has a more qualified workforce, with 26.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 13.0% in Willyaroo, and typical weekly incomes are well higher at $888 versus $705.

The age gap between the two places has narrowed since 2011, falling from 23 years to 8 years. Both areas share similar levels of one-parent families and very few people who speak a language other than English at home. However, their layouts differ sharply; while Willyaroo is car-dependent, Echunga is mostly car-dependent but offers far better access to parks, schools and public transport within a short walk.
