Crestwood The Ridgeway

Crestwood and The Ridgeway are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Crestwood is a larger, more diverse hub where 28.5% of people were born overseas and 25.4% use another language at home. It is a younger area with a typical age of 35, where 39% of people live alone and 41.8% of homes are rented. In contrast, The Ridgeway is a small, car-dependent area where residents are far older, typically 52. It is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,791 compared to $1,719 in Crestwood, and every single home is a separate house.

While the two areas differ in most ways, they have very similar rates of long-term health conditions, sitting around 28% to 29%. These differences in lifestyles are becoming more pronounced over time, with the gap in typical resident age widening by 17 years. This contrast is further seen in the housing market, where the gap in the share of homes owned outright has grown by 19 percentage points.
