Lameroo Karoonda

Lameroo and Karoonda are two small South Australian towns located about 62 km apart. Lameroo is more diverse and wealthier, with 17.1% of people born overseas and a typical weekly household income of $1,254. In contrast, Karoonda has a much older population, with a typical age of 58 and 40.1% of residents aged 65 and over. Many of the biggest gaps are found in the workforce; Lameroo has far more people working or looking for work (49.9% compared to 37.4% in Karoonda) and a much higher share of full-time employees.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they share nearly identical rates of one-parent families and very similar typical weekly rents. Both towns are also largely car-dependent, with 0.0% of people commuting by public transport. Over time, the two areas have diverged further in some ways, such as the gap in typical incomes and the number of recent overseas arrivals, which is far higher in Lameroo. However, the difference in the share of people who describe themselves as having no religion has narrowed since 2011.
