Golden Grove Lower Hermitage

Golden Grove is a large residential area where 24.6% of people live alone and the walkability score is 5.6 (somewhat walkable). In contrast, Lower Hermitage is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a walkability score of 0.3. Wealth is also a major divider; 45.5% of Lower Hermitage households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 22.9% in Golden Grove.

These two areas share very similar daily fundamentals, including a 26-minute drive to the city and typical weekly personal incomes that sit around $770 to $790.
