Gray vs Moulden

Gray and Moulden are neighbouring areas in Palmerston, but they offer very different levels of accessibility. Gray is very walkable, with all homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 70.9% within reach of health services, while in Moulden, no homes have health services within that walk. Gray also has far more street intersections per square kilometre and a higher number of different amenity types nearby. In contrast, Moulden has a slightly larger First Nations population, and typical household incomes for First Nations people there are well higher at $1,231 compared to $893 in Gray.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in their commitment to accessibility, as every home in both Gray and Moulden is within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park. While they share these strengths, Gray remains more accessible overall, and the gap in walkability between the two has widened over time.
