Withcott Grantham

Withcott and Grantham (L) are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Withcott is a more affluent area where typical household income is far higher at $2,123, compared to $1,213 in Grantham (L). Education levels are also much higher in Withcott, where 17.7% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher, while only 4.1% do in Grantham (L). In contrast, Grantham (L) is much older, with 24.3% of people aged 65 and over, compared to just 11.5% in Withcott.

Since 2011, the income and education gaps between these two places have generally widened. However, they share some common ground, such as having similar rates of people in de facto relationships and very low shares of people who speak a language other than English at home. While Withcott is mostly car-dependent, Grantham (L) is somewhat walkable, with more homes within walking distance of schools, parks, and public transport.
