Grant Robe

Grant and Robe are two South Australian areas with distinct profiles. Robe is a more walkable, older community where 30.3% of people live alone and 33.2% volunteer, compared to 19.3% and 18.9% in Grant. Robe also has a more mobile population, with 42.1% of residents moving in the last five years, while Grant is much steadier at 24.9%. A notable gap exists for First Nations households, who earn a typical weekly income of $2,131 in Grant, far higher than the $1,125 in Robe.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in the typical age of residents has widened, with Robe now noticeably older at 52 compared to Grant's 45. At the same time, the difference in volunteering and the share of people moving into the area have both grown. Despite these diverging trends, they remain very similar in other areas, such as the share of people who served in the Defence Force and the fact that nearly all homes in both areas are separate houses.
