Jamisontown Lapstone

Jamisontown and Lapstone are neighbouring areas with very different housing and social profiles. Lapstone has a much more qualified workforce, with 37.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 14.1% in Jamisontown. This is consistent with a higher share of high earners in Lapstone, where 36.4% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, while only 16.1% do so in Jamisontown. Their homes differ sharply too; 97.6% of Lapstone's homes are separate houses, whereas Jamisontown has many more flats and apartments, and a much higher rental rate of 36.9%.

Daily life in both places shares several common threads, as they have almost identical proportions of children under 15 and very similar unemployment rates. They also both provide excellent access to nature, with nearly every home within a 10-minute walk of a park. However, the physical environment varies, with Jamisontown being very walkable and Lapstone mostly car-dependent. While Jamisontown has far more frequent public transport departures, Lapstone has seen a much larger share of its workforce move to working from home.
