Giles Taylor

Giles and Taylor are two very different South Australian areas located over 700km apart. Giles is more likely to have a higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (13.0% compared to 4.5% in Taylor) and a much higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (11.4% compared to 3.7%). Access to basic needs also varies; for example, 62.5% of homes in Giles are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while only 30.4% of homes in Taylor share that access.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the typical weekly household income, which is around $1,300. They also share similar rates of people providing unpaid care and nearly the same percentage of people in de facto relationships. While Taylor is much younger, with a typical resident aged 32 compared to 39 in Giles, this age gap has narrowed since 2011. At the same time, the difference in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population has widened.
