It is also a highly educated area, with 54.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Rivett has a much older population, with 19.3% of residents aged 65 and over compared to just 4.5% in Wright. Housing also differs sharply: 86.9% of homes in Rivett are separate houses, while nearly half of the homes in Wright are flats or apartments.

Both areas are very walkable, with residents in both places living within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park.
