Aintree Thornhill Park

Aintree and Thornhill Park are neighbouring areas with very different levels of accessibility and wealth. Aintree is far more walkable, with 91.4% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport compared to just 0.1% in Thornhill Park. Aintree also has a higher proportion of high earners, with 29.7% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 18.3% in Thornhill Park. These higher incomes and better education levels, where 39.2% of Aintree adults have a bachelor degree or higher, align with its larger population and more frequent public transport services.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, such as a very low proportion of seniors and nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $970 to $980. Both areas are far more diverse than the national figure, with over half of residents in each area using a language other than English at home. While Aintree is more walkable and has more high-earning homes, the two areas remain alike in their low rates of home ownership and their high numbers of children under 15.
