Calderwood Knights Hill

Calderwood and Knights Hill are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Calderwood is a growing hub where the typical resident is just 30, and children under 15 make up 29.0% of the population. It has a much higher typical weekly income of $1,126 and a high share of university degrees at 21.4%. In contrast, Knights Hill is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 59 and 38.5% of residents aged 65 and over. This older demographic is consistent with a higher rate of long-term health conditions at 41.0% and a much larger share of volunteers at 45.7%.

These two places have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, as Calderwood has rapidly expanded while Knights Hill has remained small. Despite these diverging paths, they share some similarities, such as very low numbers of people who speak little or no English. Both areas also remain mostly car-dependent, as very few homes in either place are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
