Alloway Norville

Norville and Alloway are neighbouring areas with very different living patterns. Norville is a more compact place where 34.4% of people live alone and the typical resident is more likely to be older, with 24.1% aged 65 and over. Alloway is more rural and car-dependent, with 100% of homes being separate houses and a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 29.6%. Alloway also has a far higher typical income for First Nations households at $2,625, compared to $1,196 in Norville.

Everyday life shares several common traits, as both areas have almost identical proportions of children under 15 and similar rates of volunteering. However, the two areas differ sharply in how people get around. Norville is somewhat walkable, with 99.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, while Alloway is car-dependent. This gap in accessibility is stark; for example, 94.1% of Norville homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, compared to just 0.3% in Alloway.
