Drayton Finnie

Drayton and Finnie are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Drayton is a more populated hub where the typical resident is 36, and children under 15 make up 15.9% of the population. In contrast, Finnie is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 55. Finnie is also wealthier, with a typical weekly family income of $2,749, far higher than the $1,659 seen in Drayton. These differences extend to housing, as 46.2% of Finnie homes are owned outright, while 40.5% of Drayton homes are rented.

Everyday life in both places shares some common ground, as they have similar proportions of First Nations residents and people aged 65 and over. They also have nearly the same typical household size of around 2.4 people. However, the two areas are drifting apart in terms of accessibility. Drayton is somewhat walkable with more public transport and amenities, whereas Finnie remains car-dependent.
