Epping - South Wollert

Wollert and Epping - South are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Wollert is a rapidly growing place for young families, where the typical resident is just 30 and 29.1% of people are children under 15. It has a more highly qualified workforce, with 31.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Epping - South is older, with a typical resident aged 38 and a much higher share of seniors at 17.7%. It is also a more established area for homeowners, where 33.5% of homes are owned outright, compared to just 11.2% in Wollert.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. This is seen in the growing difference in ages, the share of people using other languages at home, and the number of adults with university degrees. While they have drifted apart in these ways, they remain similar in some areas. Both have the same share of recent overseas arrivals at 16.9% and nearly identical unemployment rates. They also share a similar environment, with almost every home in both areas located within a 15-minute walk of a park.
