Allenstown Gracemere

Gracemere and Allenstown are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Gracemere is a family-focused area where 92.9% of homes have three or more bedrooms and 34.8% of people provide unpaid childcare. In contrast, Allenstown is very walkable and more urban, with 44.2% of people living alone and a much higher share of flats or apartments. These differences extend to First Nations residents, who have a typical household income far higher in Gracemere ($1,759) than in Allenstown ($1,089), and a typical age that is far younger in Gracemere (17 years versus 26 years).

While these areas differ in their build, they share very similar typical family incomes and employment rates.
