Wright is much more diverse and transient, with 38.2% of people born overseas and 37.1% using another language at home. It has a highly qualified workforce, with 54.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, and a younger population where only 4.5% are aged 65 and over. In contrast, Duffy is dominated by separate houses (87.4%) and larger homes, with 90.1% having three or more bedrooms. It is also older, with 16.5% of its population aged 65 and over, and has far more homes owned outright at 36.5%.
