Mapleton is far more walkable—it is mostly car-dependent while Obi Obi is simply car-dependent—with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, groceries, and schools. Mapleton has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 59 and 36.1% of people aged 65 and over, compared to a typical age of 49 and 20.7% of seniors in Obi Obi.
