Eschol Park Varroville

Eschol Park and Varroville are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and scales. Eschol Park is more developed and somewhat walkable, with 94.3% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Varroville is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with only 11.5% of homes near transport. There are also distinct social differences; Varroville has a much higher share of university-qualified adults (24.2% compared to 14.2% in Eschol Park) and more people who own their homes outright (54.5% versus 27.5%).

Both areas share a typical resident age of 36 and a similar drive time to the city. However, the gap in home ownership is widening, with Varroville seeing a significant increase in those who own their homes outright. While both areas sit well below the national figure for people with no religion, this gap is far wider in Varroville, where the share is only 11.2% compared to 27.7% in Eschol Park.
