Alloway Walkervale

Walkervale and Alloway are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Walkervale is a very walkable hub where residents are far younger, with a typical age of 37 compared to 45 in Alloway. It has a much higher share of people living alone (31.1%) and those with no religion (45.7%). In contrast, Alloway is car-dependent and more residential, with a much higher share of large homes with three or more bedrooms (90.7%) and a typical First Nations household income that is far higher at $2,625, compared to $1,138 in Walkervale.

These two places have tracked similarly in some areas, such as their school advantage scores and the share of people who volunteer. However, the gap in accessibility is stark; Walkervale is a center for public transport and shops, while Alloway has almost no public transport stops. This difference is also seen in the workforce, where Walkervale has more people in health and retail and Alloway is dominated by agriculture, forestry and fishing.
