It has a more urban feel, with far more people renting (26.5%) and better access to services, including more homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. Rosedale is smaller and more rural, with a higher share of detached houses (97.7%) and a workforce more heavily involved in agriculture, forestry and fishing.
