Silverleaves Smiths Beach

Silverleaves and Smiths Beach are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, but they differ significantly in age and home ownership. Silverleaves is a much older community, where the typical resident is 61 and 39.4% are aged 65 or over. This is reflected in the fact that 68.2% of homes are owned outright. In contrast, Smiths Beach has a younger typical resident aged 51 and a higher proportion of people working or looking for work at 60.5%, compared to 41.4% in Silverleaves.

While these gaps in age and employment are stark, the two areas share a very similar housing landscape, with about 97% of homes being detached houses and typical weekly rents sitting around $330. The divide in accessibility is widening, however, as Smiths Beach has far more public transport options and 100% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Silverleaves has no public transport stops and no homes within walking distance of a grocery store.
