Natimuk is very walkable, with many residents living within a short stroll of groceries, health services, and schools. It has a much older population, with a typical age of 54 and 28.3% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Lower Norton is car-dependent and has a younger feel, with 19.5% of its population being children under 15. There is also a sharp contrast in wealth; typical weekly household income in Lower Norton is $2,295, which is far higher than the $1,269 seen in Natimuk.
