Orroroo Wilmington

Orroroo and Wilmington are nearby South Australian towns with a few key differences. Orroroo is far older, with a typical resident aged 55 compared to 47 in Wilmington. This older population helps explain why Orroroo has a far higher share of people with a long-term health condition (40.7% versus 30.5%) and more people who need help with daily activities. Orroroo also has a more connected layout, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services.

Daily life is similar in both towns, as they share the same rate of Year 12 completions (34.7%) and nearly identical typical family incomes. While Wilmington has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,220 compared to $970 in Orroroo, this gap has narrowed since 2011. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for volunteers and the share of homes owned outright.
