Grey Hindmarsh

Hindmarsh and Grey are two South Australian areas with similar populations but very different landscapes. Hindmarsh is a very walkable urban area where most homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services and public transport. In contrast, Grey is mostly car-dependent and far more rural, with 86% of homes being separate houses. There are also large differences in education and background; 58% of Hindmarsh residents completed Year 12 compared to 36.8% in Grey, and Hindmarsh has a far higher share of people born overseas (26.2% against 10.1%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people born overseas, though Hindmarsh is slightly below and Grey is far below. They are also alike in the size of their households, with both averaging 2.3 people per home. While they share similar unemployment rates and the same proportion of people serving in the Defence Force, the gap in typical weekly household income has widened since 2011, with Hindmarsh now earning $327 more than Grey.
