Abbey is far more connected for pedestrians, with 98.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 98.3% near public transport. In contrast, Vasse is more spread out, though it has a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school (50.5% compared to 0.0% in Abbey). These two areas also differ in their populations; Abbey is noticeably older with a typical age of 42 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (20.2%), while Vasse has a typical age of 39.

They are very similar in other ways, with nearly identical typical weekly household incomes and almost the same share of people born overseas.
