Blanchetown Springton

Blanchetown and Springton are two small South Australian areas with very different profiles. Blanchetown is a sparsely populated area with a much older population, where the typical resident is 59 and 39.3% are seniors. Springton is far more family-oriented, with a typical age of 46 and 21.1% of people being children under 15. There are also stark differences in housing and accessibility; typical weekly rent is far higher in Springton at $290 compared to $156 in Blanchetown, and Springton is very walkable while Blanchetown is mostly car-dependent.

The gap in the age of residents has widened since 2011, reflecting a growing contrast between the two places. They do share some similarities, such as having almost no residents who speak little or no English and very similar rates of people providing unpaid care. Both areas also have a high share of people with no religion, which is well above the national figure.
