Botanic Ridge Junction Village

Botanic Ridge and Junction Village are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Botanic Ridge is a young, growing hub where the typical resident is 32 and 28.2% of the population are children. It is a more affluent area, with a typical weekly household income of $2,552 and a high proportion of large, four-bedroom detached houses. In contrast, Junction Village is much older, with a typical age of 54 and 38.4% of residents aged 65 and over. It is more likely to have people living alone or owning their homes outright, and its typical weekly household income is much lower at $1,080.

These two places are drifting further apart as Botanic Ridge grows. While they share similar access to schools and the same drive time to the city, the gaps in wealth and age are stark.
