Berkeley Kanahooka

Berkeley and Kanahooka are neighbouring areas with very different social and housing profiles. Berkeley is younger and more diverse, with a typical resident aged 40 and 19.8% of people using a language other than English at home. It also has a much higher share of renters at 37.7% and more one-parent families (23.8%). In contrast, Kanahooka is far older, with a typical age of 48 and 31% of residents aged 65 or over. Residents here are more likely to own their homes outright (50.3%) and have better walking access to health services and groceries.

While these two areas are close by, the gap in housing tenure has widened, with Berkeley now far more likely to be rented than Kanahooka. They do share some similarities, such as having the same average number of people per home (2.5) and nearly identical rates of adults working or looking for work. Both areas also have similar school advantage scores and a similar drive time to the city.
