Cheltenham Taylor

Taylor and Cheltenham are two different types of residential areas. Taylor is a young community where 23.8% of people are under 15 and the typical resident is 32. It is a place for larger families, with 86.9% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a high share of separate houses (84.4%). In contrast, Cheltenham is very walkable and more diverse, with 31.7% of people born overseas and 33.4% using a language other than English at home. Residents in Cheltenham are more likely to have higher qualifications, with 23.4% holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 7.8% in Taylor.

Everyday life shares some similarities in both places, as a similar share of people are employed full-time and the average school advantage score is nearly the same. However, the gaps between them are often growing. The difference in educational attainment and the share of people born overseas have both widened since 2011. While Taylor is mostly car-dependent, Cheltenham is very walkable, a contrast that is mirrored in the layout of their homes and the proximity of local services.
