Orroroo Booleroo Centre

Orroroo (L) and Booleroo Centre (L) are two small South Australian settlements. Booleroo Centre (L) is much older, with a typical resident aged 64 and 48.1% of people aged 65 and over, compared to 55 years and 32.9% in Orroroo (L). This higher age in Booleroo Centre (L) is consistent with more people needing help with daily activities (22.2% versus 10.3%) and a higher share of those with long-term health conditions. Orroroo (L) has a higher proportion of adults working or looking for work at 50.8%, while Booleroo Centre (L) is more mobile, with 37.1% of people having moved in the last five years.

Their trajectories have diverged since 2011, as the age gap has widened and the differences in workforce and health needs have shifted. Despite these changes, the two areas share a similar lifestyle; typical weekly household incomes are nearly identical, at $970 in Orroroo (L) and $1,010 in Booleroo Centre (L). Both are very walkable, though Booleroo Centre (L) has more amenities within a short walk, particularly schools and public transport. They also share similar levels of university qualifications and a nearly identical percentage of people who volunteer.
