Douglas Park Wilton

Wilton and Douglas Park are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Wilton is a young, growing hub where children under 15 make up 31.2% of the population and the typical resident is just 33. It is more walkable, with 90.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and 64.8% near groceries. In contrast, Douglas Park is more car-dependent and older, with a typical age of 41 and 16.3% of people aged 65 and over. Home ownership also differs sharply, as 39.8% of Douglas Park homes are owned outright, compared to just 17.3% in Wilton.

Both areas share a similar mix of people, with almost identical rates of overseas birth (around 10%) and very low unemployment. However, the gaps between them have grown since 2011.
