Springton Truro

Springton and Truro are two small South Australian areas with very different lifestyles. Springton is far more walkable, with every home within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, groceries, and public transport. It is also a more solitary and secular place, where 32.8% of people live alone and 56.0% have no religion. In contrast, Truro has a more traditional family feel, with far more people employed full-time (62.0% compared to 46.4% in Springton) and typical weekly household incomes that are well higher at $1,625.

Both areas share a nearly identical proportion of people aged 65 and over, sitting around 16%. While they share this demographic similarity, they have drifted apart in other ways since 2011. The gap in full-time employment has widened significantly, and Springton has seen a sharp increase in the share of one-parent families compared to Truro. These two areas also differ in their home sizes, with Truro having a much higher share of four-bedroom houses.
