Marden Payneham

Marden and Payneham are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, though they differ in their local environment and safety profiles. Marden has far more walkable amenities per 1,000 residents (12.9 compared to 5.7 in Payneham) and more public transport stops. However, Marden also experiences a much higher rate of theft and assault. In contrast, Payneham has a notably older population, with 20.3% aged 65 and over compared to 16.8% in Marden, and far more people living alone (41.1% versus 37.6%).
