Page Wright

Wright and Page are both large areas with significant populations, but they differ in their layout and residents. Wright has a younger population, with 21.1% being children under 15, and more large homes, as 88.4% have three or more bedrooms. Its typical household income is well higher at $1,797 per week. Page is noticeably older, with a typical age of 46 and a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (24.3%). It also offers far more convenience for pedestrians, with 43.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a city center and 57.9% within a 10-minute walk of public transport.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several key measures. The gap in typical age has widened and flipped, with Page now significantly older. Similarly, the lead has flipped for weekly family income, which is now well higher in Wright. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain very similar in some ways. They have almost identical rates of unemployment (around 5%) and the same proportion of people working from home (about 13%).
