Kingston Robe

Kingston (SA) and Robe are two South Australian areas with distinct profiles. Robe has far more people who finished Year 12 (45.7% compared to 34.9% in Kingston (SA)) and a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. It is also more walkable, with 77.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, whereas 42.3% of homes in Kingston (SA) have that access. In contrast, Kingston (SA) has far more First Nations residents, and its schools are much larger, with an average of 330 students compared to 97 in Robe.

These areas are almost identical in their typical weekly household income, which sits around $1,200. They also share similar household sizes and a nearly equal number of people who served in the Defence Force. Over time, some gaps have widened, such as the difference in the number of people aged 65 and over, which is now well higher in Kingston (SA). The gap in education levels has also grown since 2011, with Robe seeing a larger increase in Year 12 completions.
