Allendale East Tarpeena

Tarpeena and Allendale East are two small South Australian areas with very different populations. Tarpeena is much older, with a typical resident aged 52 and 27.4% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Allendale East is far younger, with a typical age of 37 and children under 15 making up 28.2% of the population. This shift in age is reflected in daily life; Allendale East has a far higher share of people caring for children unpaid (38.4%) and those doing at least 15 hours of housework (32.5%). Tarpeena has more people living alone (38.7%) and a higher rate of long-term health conditions (38.6%).

Since 2011, the two areas have moved in opposite directions across many measures. The gaps in typical age and the number of children and seniors have all flipped or widened. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain alike in some ways. They have almost identical proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (about 2.6%) and neither area has any residents who use public transport to commute.
