Direk Edinburgh

Direk and Edinburgh are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Direk is a family-oriented area where children under 15 make up 29.6% of the population, and people per home is far higher at 2.9. It is also more culturally diverse, with 29.6% born overseas and 33.3% using another language at home. In contrast, Edinburgh is dominated by the Defence Force, with 95.2% of residents having served. This is reflected in the workforce, where 90.3% are employed full-time and the typical weekly rent is much lower at $104 compared to $325 in Direk.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people providing unpaid care. They are also alike in their school advantage scores. However, their daily environments differ; Edinburgh has far more public transport options, while Direk has more parks within a short walk. Since 2011, the gap in crime rates has widened, with Edinburgh seeing a much higher increase in property damage and assault rates.
