Ashmore Molendinar

Ashmore and Molendinar are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Ashmore is a very walkable area where 96.1% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport and 89.3% are near groceries. It has a notably older population, with a typical resident aged 43 and 22.4% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Molendinar is more car-dependent, with a typical resident aged 37 and a higher share of larger homes; 90.5% of dwellings have three or more bedrooms compared to 75.8% in Ashmore. Molendinar also has a more diverse population, with 24.6% of people using a language other than English at home, far higher than the 13.8% in Ashmore.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in the typical age of residents has widened, and far more people now live alone in Ashmore than in Molendinar. However, they remain very similar in other respects, such as typical weekly personal incomes and the share of people who volunteer. The gap in outright home ownership has narrowed slightly, though it remains well higher in Ashmore.
