Banksmeadow Hillsdale

Hillsdale and Banksmeadow are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Hillsdale is a densely populated hub where life is centred on walking; it is a walker's paradise with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, groceries, and schools. In contrast, Banksmeadow is much more car-dependent and affluent. It has a far higher share of adults with bachelor degrees (40.7% compared to 28.6% in Hillsdale) and a larger proportion of households earning $3,000 or more a week (31.5% versus 16.0%).

Both areas share a similar percentage of adults working or looking for work, at 64.0% each. This common ground exists alongside a stark divide in how people live and work; Banksmeadow has far more people working from home (40.1% versus 23.9%) and far more residents in de facto relationships (27.7% versus 13.7%). Hillsdale is more diverse, with a far higher share of people using another language at home (47.6% against 36.2%).
