Avalon Corio

Corio and Avalon are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Corio is a larger, very walkable hub where 90% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 76.5% are near a school. In contrast, Avalon is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with 0% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. There are also sharp economic divides; Avalon has far more households earning $3,000 or more a week (37.0% compared to 7.0% in Corio) and a much higher share of homes owned outright (52.1% versus 28.6% in Corio).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining a similar share of children under 15 and nearly identical numbers of people per bedroom. They also share a similar level of volunteerism. While Corio has far more one-parent families and recent overseas arrivals, the two areas remain alike in their typical weekly personal incomes, which both sit around the $511 to $537 mark.
