Grant Millicent

Grant and Millicent are nearby South Australian areas with very different living conditions. Grant is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,582 compared to $988 in Millicent. This gap in resources is stark across the board; Grant has far higher typical incomes for First Nations households ($2,045 versus $972) and much lower First Nations unemployment (8.8% versus 20.0%). Millicent is more urban, with a walkability score of 4.2 (somewhat walkable), while Grant is 0.9 (car-dependent).

Both areas have a similar proportion of First Nations people, at around 3.3%. They also share a similar level of education, with about 34% of residents completing Year 12.
