Gracemere Park Avenue

Gracemere and Park Avenue are nearby areas with very different layouts. Gracemere is a larger, more car-dependent area where homes are typically bigger, with 92.6% having three or more bedrooms. It has a younger population—the typical resident is 33—and children under 15 make up 26.0% of the people. In contrast, Park Avenue is more compact and somewhat walkable, with 99.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. It has more older residents, with 19.3% aged 65 and over, and a much higher share of people living alone at 32.7%.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, such as the proportion of volunteers (11.6%) and people born overseas (around 7%). They also have similar rates of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. While Gracemere is now slightly more likely to have households earning $3,000 or more a week, this gap has widened since 2011.
