Kenny Watson

Watson and Kenny are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Watson is a well-populated suburb where the typical resident is 34, with a typical weekly household income of $2,414 and rent of $437. It is very walkable, with 95.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a typical drive time to the city of just 10 minutes. Kenny is sparsely populated and far younger, with a typical resident aged just 17. It is more car-dependent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,375 and a much longer drive to the city of 37 minutes.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in key ways. The gap in typical personal income has widened, while the age difference has flipped, with residents now far older in Watson. Despite these shifts, they share some environment traits, as both have identical average temperatures and rainfall. They are also both perfectly situated for nature, with 100% of homes in both areas within a 15-minute walk of a park.
