Grey Makin

Makin and Grey are two very different South Australian landscapes, separated by about 675 km. Makin is a very walkable area where 29.9% of people were born overseas and 23.5% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Grey is mostly car-dependent and far less diverse, with only 10.1% born overseas and 5.6% using another language. These differences extend to education and cost, with a far higher share of Makin residents completing Year 12 (54.1% vs 36.8%) and typical weekly rents being far higher in Makin ($320 vs $200).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people born in Australia. They also share very similar unemployment rates, around 5.5%, and have nearly the same proportion of children under 15. However, some gaps are growing; residents in Grey are now noticeably older than those in Makin, with a typical age of 45 compared to 39. The gap in overseas births and the use of other languages has also widened since 2011.
