Hastings Point Pottsville

Pottsville and Hastings Point are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Pottsville is a family-oriented hub where 23.4% of residents are children and 33.8% of people care for children unpaid. In contrast, Hastings Point is much older; the typical resident is 67 and over half the population (55.5%) are seniors. This age gap is reflected in the housing: 89.8% of Pottsville homes have three or more bedrooms, while 47% of Hastings Point residents live alone in smaller homes. Financials also differ sharply, with typical household incomes far higher in Pottsville ($1,556) than in Hastings Point ($744).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for people with a mental health condition, around 9%. They are also very similar in their proportion of First Nations residents, their school sizes, and the number of amenities within a 15-minute walk. However, the gap in housing tenure is stark, as homes are far more likely to be owned outright in Hastings Point, while Pottsville has far more mortgages. The two areas have also diverged in their mobility, with Pottsville seeing a far higher share of people move in over the last five years.
