In contrast, Douglas (Vic.) is more focused on larger families; 25.7% of residents are children under 15, and every single home there has three or more bedrooms. Douglas (Vic.) also has a higher share of university degrees (21.4%) and typical weekly family incomes that are well higher at $2,666, compared to $1,833 in Harrow.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as all homes are separate detached houses and no one uses public transport to get around.
