Grey Sturt

Sturt and Grey are two very different South Australian areas. Sturt is a very walkable urban place where 33.8% of people were born overseas and 30.6% use a language other than English at home. It is also more highly educated, with 38.1% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Grey is mostly car-dependent and more traditional, with only 10.1% of people born overseas and 10.1% holding a bachelor degree or higher. The differences in housing are also sharp; separate houses make up 86.0% of homes in Grey, compared to 68.5% in Sturt.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in the share of people born overseas has grown to 23.8%, while the gap in typical weekly rent has increased to $140. Despite these diverging trends, they share some common ground. Both areas have similar shares of people who provide unpaid care (around 13%) and similar unemployment rates, between 4.9% and 5.5%.
