Tweed Gaven

Tweed and Gaven are nearby areas with very different profiles. Tweed is a much older community, where the typical resident is 47 and 27.1% of people are aged 65 or over. It also has a higher rate of outright home ownership at 41.8%. Gaven is younger and more diverse, with 26.3% of residents born overseas and a higher typical weekly household income of $1,674 compared to $1,317 in Tweed. Gaven also has more large homes, with 82.4% having three or more bedrooms.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The gap in typical age has widened, and the difference in home ownership and household income has also grown.

Both areas also see very low use of public transport for commuting, at 0.5% in Tweed and 1.0% in Gaven.
