Malaga Noranda

Noranda and Malaga are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Noranda is a residential community where 39.1% of people were born overseas and 31.1% use another language at home. It is a family-oriented area with 15.7% of people under 15 and 24.5% aged 65 and over. In contrast, Malaga is sparsely populated and feels more like a commercial or industrial hub, with no children or seniors and a typical weekly personal income that is far higher at $1,350, compared to $715 in Noranda.

Everyday life shares some common ground in both places, as the proportion of adults working or looking for work is nearly identical at around 61%. They also share the same travel time to the city of 58 minutes. While Noranda is much more walkable with most homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and groceries, Malaga has a much higher share of people who have moved in the last five years (61.9% compared to 27.3% in Noranda).
