Grattai Spring Flat

Spring Flat and Grattai are two nearby rural areas with similar population sizes, but they have very different profiles. Spring Flat is a younger area, where children under 15 make up 26.1% of the population and the typical resident is 36. This helps explain why a high share of people (34.8%) are unpaid carers for children. It is also a wealthier area, with a typical household income of $2,974 and 42.5% of households earning $3,000 or more per week. In contrast, residents are far older in Grattai, with a typical age of 50 and a much lower typical household income of $1,287.

Both areas are car-dependent and share very similar rates of working from home. They are also alike in the proportion of people in de facto relationships and the low number of residents who speak a language other than English at home. While Spring Flat has seen a high number of new arrivals, with 55.8% moving in during the last five years, Grattai is more settled, with only 25.2% arriving recently.
