Andamooka Wilmington

Andamooka and Wilmington are both small South Australian towns, though they differ sharply in their makeup. Andamooka is much older, with a typical resident aged 57, and has a far higher share of people living alone at 51.2%. It is also more likely to have residents born overseas (16.9%) and people with no religion (55.0%). Wilmington has a younger feel, with 19.3% of its population being children under 15, and typically larger homes, with 82.8% having three or more bedrooms. The two areas also differ in wealth; typical weekly household income is $1,220 in Wilmington, which is far higher than the $705 seen in Andamooka.

Everyday life shares several similarities, such as an equal lack of public transport for commuters and a similar share of people providing unpaid care. While Wilmington is somewhat walkable and Andamooka is mostly car-dependent, both areas are far below the national figure for typical personal incomes. Some of the gaps between them have shifted recently; for example, the age difference has narrowed from 23 years down to 10 years since 2011.
