Huntingfield Tinderbox

Huntingfield and Tinderbox are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Huntingfield is a young community where the typical resident is 33 and children under 15 make up 23.5% of the population. In contrast, Tinderbox is much older, with a typical age of 52 and 21.2% of people aged 65 and over. There is also a significant wealth gap; 36.5% of Tinderbox households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to just 10.9% in Huntingfield. These differences extend to housing, as Tinderbox has a much higher share of homes owned outright at 57.7%, while Huntingfield has more renters.

Everyday life in both places shares some common ground, as they have almost identical typical weekly incomes and the same number of people per home. They are also similar in that no one in either area speaks little or no English. However, their physical environments differ sharply. Huntingfield is very walkable and well-served by public transport, whereas Tinderbox is car-dependent with no public transport stops. This gap in accessibility has remained a defining contrast between the two neighbours.
