Blanchetown Truro

Truro (L) and Blanchetown (L) are two small South Australian areas with very different profiles. Truro (L) has a younger population and a more active workforce, with a typical weekly household income of $1,625, which is far higher than the $831 seen in Blanchetown (L). Homes in Truro (L) also tend to be larger and more expensive to rent, with a typical weekly rent of $268 compared to $156 in Blanchetown (L). In contrast, Blanchetown (L) is far older, with 39.3% of residents aged 65 and over, and a much higher share of people living alone at 44.8%.

The gap between these two areas has widened significantly since 2011 across several measures. While they both consist almost entirely of separate houses and have very similar proportions of people using other languages at home, they have drifted apart in terms of age and wealth. Blanchetown (L) has become far older, and the difference in typical household income has grown from just $94 to $794 over the last decade. This shift is reflected in the local layout, with Truro (L) being somewhat walkable and Blanchetown (L) mostly car-dependent.
