East Maitland Pitnacree

East Maitland and Pitnacree are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. East Maitland is a larger hub where the typical family income is $1,947 per week and many residents have a bachelor degree or higher (17.4%). It is a family-oriented area with 17.3% of people being children under 15. In contrast, Pitnacree is sparsely populated with only 48 residents. It is far wealthier, with a typical family income of $3,249 per week, and has no children under 15.

Both areas share some basic characteristics, such as a similar drive time to the city and an almost identical share of people who speak little or no English. However, they differ in how people get around. East Maitland is very walkable, while Pitnacree is mostly car-dependent. This is reflected in the infrastructure; East Maitland has many more public transport stops and a much higher number of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, groceries, and schools.
