Pukatja (Ernabella) Amata

Pukatja (Ernabella) and Amata are two remote South Australian areas with very different local profiles. Pukatja (Ernabella) has far more full-time workers (61.3%) and a higher share of larger homes, with 79.4% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Amata has a much higher share of people in de facto relationships (22.4%) and far more people who claim no religion (37.2%). While Pukatja (Ernabella) is more connected to schools, Amata is more walkable for those visiting health services and parks.

Both areas are very similar in that about 87% of residents use a language other than English at home. This shared characteristic is consistent with both places having very high Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations. Pukatja (Ernabella) is also close to the national figure for people doing 15 or more hours of unpaid housework (20.1%), while Amata sits slightly above at 26.3%. Over time, some gaps have widened, such as the difference in full-time employment, while the age gap between the two has narrowed since 2011.
