Abbey Broadwater

Broadwater (WA) and Abbey are neighbouring areas with very different demographics. Broadwater (WA) is far older, with a typical resident aged 53 and 37.5% of the population aged 65 and over. This is consistent with a higher rate of people needing help with daily activities (12.7%) and long-term health conditions (38.2%). In contrast, Abbey has a younger profile and is more family-oriented, with children under 15 making up 22.6% of the population. Abbey also has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,737, compared to $1,232 in Broadwater (WA).

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, including nearly identical unemployment rates and a similar number of public transport stops per person. They also have almost the same typical monthly home-loan payments. However, Abbey is much more walkable; 98.7% of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while only 16.3% of homes in Broadwater (WA) have the same access. This gap in accessibility stands alongside the fact that more adults in Abbey are working or looking for work.
