Civic Reid

Civic and Reid are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Civic is a young, transient hub where the typical resident is 27 and 44.3% were born overseas. It is dominated by apartments and rentals, with 61.6% of households renting. In contrast, Reid is older, with a typical resident aged 40 and a far higher share of seniors at 19.2%. Housing there is more varied, and 30.1% of homes are owned outright, compared to just 15.4% in Civic.

Everyday life in both places shares a high level of general advantage and a well-qualified workforce, with over half of adults in both areas holding a bachelor degree or higher. They also have very similar typical weekly household incomes, sitting around $2,200. While the two areas are distinct, some gaps are closing; the difference in the share of people born overseas has narrowed since 2016, and the age gap between the two has also shrunk slightly.
