Grant Wattle Range

Grant and Wattle Range are both regional South Australian areas with similar household sizes and shares of children. Wattle Range is more walkable, with far more people living within a 15-minute walk of groceries (21.7% vs 10.1%) or a school (26.6% vs 8.7%). Grant has a larger First Nations population (196 people compared to 40 in Wattle Range) and larger average school sizes, with 100 students compared to 56 in Wattle Range.

Both areas are very similar in their shares of overseas-born residents and the proportion of people who speak a language other than English at home. However, some gaps have grown since 2011. Residents in Wattle Range are now noticeably older, with a typical age of 49 compared to 45 in Grant, and the share of people aged 65 and over is well higher in Wattle Range at 23.9%.
