Giles Namatjira

Giles and Namatjira are two distant regions with very different community profiles. Namatjira has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at 45.6%, compared with 13.0% in Giles. Language diversity is also much greater in Namatjira, where 33.9% of people use a language other than English at home, while the figure in Giles is 12.4%. In contrast, Giles is far more likely to have residents who report no religion (49.7% versus 33.0%) and a higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (78.7% versus 63.2%).

These gaps in cultural and social identity have widened since 2011, particularly for the share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain very similar in some ways. They share the same typical weekly rent of $180, and the same proportion of people born overseas (about 15%). Both areas also have a similar share of people who have served in the Defence Force and those who live in de facto relationships.
