Labrador Parkwood

Labrador and Parkwood are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Parkwood is wealthier and has a younger population, with a typical weekly household income of $2,064 compared to $1,188 in Labrador. Housing differs sharply; Parkwood is dominated by separate houses (90.5%) and larger homes, while Labrador has many more flats and townhouses. Labrador is also much more walkable (score 7.4, very walkable) than Parkwood (score 4.6, somewhat walkable), with more residents living within a 15-minute walk of groceries and schools.

Both areas share a similar proportion of First Nations residents and a nearly identical rate of people providing unpaid care. These similarities exist alongside a growing gap in wealth and age. Since 2011, the difference in typical household income has widened to $876, and the age gap has increased to 8 years, with Labrador remaining far older than Parkwood.
