Farnsfield Redridge

Redridge and Farnsfield are neighbouring areas with very different populations. Redridge is much older, with a typical resident aged 57 and 32.5% of people aged 65 and over. This older age profile is consistent with a higher rate of long-term health conditions (40.8%) and a much lower share of children under 15 (12.2%). In contrast, Farnsfield is a younger area where the typical resident is 35 and children under 15 make up 27.4% of the population. This is reflected in family life, with 36.5% of people caring for children unpaid. Typical weekly household incomes are also far higher in Farnsfield ($1,958) than in Redridge ($914).

Both areas are car-dependent, as neither has any amenities within a 15-minute walk. This lack of walkability is shared by both, and they are also alike in that 100% of their homes are separate houses. This similarity extends to their use of English, with almost no one in either area speaking little or no English, a figure that sits close to the national pattern. While they share these basic housing and language traits, their workforce differs; 23.4% of people in Farnsfield work from home, which is far higher than the 7.0% seen in Redridge.
