Kanwal Wadalba

Wadalba and Kanwal are neighbouring areas with very similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in age and stage of life. Wadalba is a young area where the typical resident is 32, and children under 15 make up 26.3% of the population. This helps explain why 36.1% of its adults provide unpaid childcare, far higher than the 20.5% in Kanwal. In contrast, residents are far older in Kanwal, where the typical age is 45 and 27.8% are seniors aged 65 and over. Wadalba also has a more mobile and higher-earning population, with a typical weekly household income of $1,942 compared to $1,344 in Kanwal.

Both areas have tracked similarly in their accessibility to public transport, with almost identical shares of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop. They also share similar proportions of people who speak little or no English and similar drive times to the city. While Wadalba has far more people moving in over the last five years and a higher share of renters, Kanwal has far more homes owned outright. This highlights a growing contrast between a younger, renting population in Wadalba and a more settled, older population in Kanwal.
