Frome King

Frome and King are both South Australian areas with similar population sizes, but they differ greatly in layout and wealth. King is a more urban environment where the typical weekly household income is $1,720, while the typical income in Frome is much lower at $1,353. King has a higher share of overseas-born residents (22.8% compared to 10.8% in Frome) and more people with a university degree. Infrastructure also varies widely; King is somewhat walkable with a score of 5.1, whereas Frome is mostly car-dependent with a score of 2.4.

These two areas share very similar proportions of children under 15 and people with no religion. They also have almost identical unemployment rates, around 4%. While they are similar in these basics, the gap in education and income has widened since 2011. For example, the difference in the share of people who finished Year 12 has grown from 4.7 to 11.8 percentage points over that time.
