Scrivener vs Coombs

Coombs and Scrivener are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Coombs is a young, growing community where the typical resident is 30 and homes are larger, with 2.7 people per household. It is very walkable, with 96.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Scrivener is largely non-residential and far older; the typical resident is 70.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the number of people per home, with Coombs just above and Scrivener far below. They share similar environments, with identical annual rainfall and maximum temperatures.

While Coombs has more businesses and public transport stops, Scrivener has a higher typical personal income, which is well higher than the national figure.
