Munster Spearwood

Spearwood and Munster are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Spearwood is a populous hub where a typical resident is 41 and a quarter of people use a language other than English at home. It is somewhat walkable, with most homes within 15 minutes' walk of a park, school or groceries. Munster is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much older typical resident of 49. Homes there are more likely to be separate houses owned outright, and monthly home-loan payments are far higher at $2,798 compared to $1,733 in Spearwood.

Both areas share a similar typical weekly income of around $740 and a nearly identical share of children under 15. They also have similar levels of people living with long-term health conditions. While Spearwood is much more connected for pedestrians, Munster has a higher number of public transport stops per 1,000 people. Over time, the gap in typical ages has remained significant, with Munster's population staying far older than that of Spearwood.
