Heritage Park Park Ridge South

Heritage Park and Park Ridge South are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Heritage Park is somewhat walkable, with 99.4% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and 80.3% near groceries. In contrast, Park Ridge South is car-dependent, where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. The two areas also differ in age and home ownership; the typical resident in Park Ridge South is far older at 46, compared to 37 in Heritage Park, and homes are far more likely to be owned outright in Park Ridge South (39.9% versus 26.1%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, and they remain alike in several key ways. They share similar typical weekly incomes, around $2,000, and have nearly the same proportion of First Nations residents. Heritage Park is more diverse, with a higher share of people born overseas and those using another language at home. This is consistent with its younger population, as children under 15 are well higher in Heritage Park (21.1%) than in Park Ridge South (15.5%).
