Stafford Grange

Stafford and Grange are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Grange is a wealthy suburb where the typical household income is $3,243 a week, and nearly half of adults (49.9%) hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Stafford has a much higher share of renters at 48.3% and many more people living alone (33.4%). While Grange has larger homes and more families with children, Stafford has a more diverse population, with 16.9% of residents speaking a First Nations language.

Both areas are about the same as the national figure for full-time employment, at around 61%. They also share a similar lack of religious affiliation and have the same 10-minute drive time to the city. However, the gap in household income has widened since 2011, and Grange has seen a far larger increase in people working from home compared to Stafford.
