Ballard Harlaxton

Harlaxton and Ballard are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Harlaxton is a very walkable place where nearly half of all homes are rented (47.1%) and many more people live alone (33.6%). In contrast, Ballard is car-dependent, with every single home being a separate house and a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (30.8% compared to 7.4% in Harlaxton). Ballard also has a more highly qualified population, with 24.1% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, whereas 13.1% do so in Harlaxton.

Both areas are effectively alike in their share of people in de facto relationships and the number of people per bedroom. While they share these patterns, their living environments differ sharply; Harlaxton has many more people moving in recently (50.0%) and a higher rate of long-term health conditions (33.5%) than Ballard.
