Gumeracha Mount Pleasant

Gumeracha (L) and Mount Pleasant (L) are two similar South Australian towns, but they differ in wealth and accessibility. Gumeracha (L) is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,544 compared to $1,125 in Mount Pleasant (L). It also has a much higher share of detached houses (96.1% versus 85.8%) and far better walkability; for example, 97.2% of homes in Gumeracha (L) are within a 15-minute walk of health services, compared to 77.0% in Mount Pleasant (L).
