Grant Kingston

Grant and Kingston (SA) are two regional South Australian areas with very different profiles. Grant is wealthier, with a typical household income of $1,747 a week compared to $1,184 in Kingston (SA). It also has a larger school presence, with seven schools serving the area. In contrast, Kingston (SA) has a much older population, where the typical resident is 53 and 33.1% are seniors aged 65 and over. People in Kingston (SA) are also more likely to live alone (33.2%) and have better access to a 15-minute walk to groceries (33.7% of homes) than those in Grant.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for typical weekly rents, which are $200 in both places. They also share very similar proportions of people born overseas and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. However, some gaps are growing; the difference in typical household income has widened since 2011, as has the gap in age and the share of seniors living in Kingston (SA).
