In contrast, Seventeen Mile has a younger feel, with children under 15 making up 18.2% of the population, while they account for only 7.5% in Palmtree. Typical weekly personal income is also well higher in Seventeen Mile at $949, compared to $596 in Palmtree.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over, though Palmtree is far above it.
