Frome Giles

Giles and Frome are far-apart South Australian areas with very different living patterns. Giles has a far higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (13.0% compared to 2.3% in Frome) and is much more walkable, with a score of 4.8 (somewhat walkable) against 2.4 (mostly car-dependent) in Frome. Housing differs sharply too; 41.4% of households in Giles rent, while Frome has far more separate houses at 95.9% and a much higher share of homes owned outright at 38.1%.

Both areas are almost identical in their typical weekly household income, which sits around $1,300 to $1,350. While they share similar levels of university education and a similar share of children, many trends have shifted since 2011. The gap in home ownership and renting has widened significantly, and the age gap has closed slightly, with Frome's typical resident now 44 and Giles' 39.
