Pearce is far more walkable, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a 15-minute-city walkshed. There are also notable educational differences; Pearce has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (46.0% versus 32.2% in Kambah) and a much higher number of schools per 1,000 children.
