Palm Grove Palmdale

Palmdale and Palm Grove are both sparsely populated areas. Palmdale is generally wealthier, with 27.0% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to just 8.8% in Palm Grove. It also has more full-time workers (62.2% versus 48.3%) and better street connectivity. In contrast, Palm Grove is more likely to have homes owned outright (70.6% versus 51.4%) and a higher share of large homes, with 100% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms.
