Amata Papulankutja

Amata and Papulankutja are both sparsely populated areas in the remote interior of South Australia and Western Australia. Amata has a far higher share of people in de facto relationships (22.4% compared to 7.0% in Papulankutja) and a much higher proportion of people working full-time (47.3% versus 29.4%). In contrast, Papulankutja has far more homes with three or more bedrooms (89.2% versus 61.9% in Amata) and a much higher share of households without a motor vehicle (62.2% compared to 41.3%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for people with no religion, with Amata at 37.2% and Papulankutja at 25.9%. They share several other similarities, including very low rates of outright home ownership and similar shares of people who provide unpaid care for children.
