Galston Brooklyn

Galston and Brooklyn (L) are two nearby areas with very different profiles. Galston is a family-oriented place where 21.8% of people are children and 33.8% of adults provide unpaid childcare. This is reflected in the housing, with 93.7% of homes having three or more bedrooms. It is also very walkable, with about 85% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries. In contrast, Brooklyn (L) has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 48 compared to 40 in Galston. It is more likely to be a place for single residents, as 28.2% of people live alone, and it has a far higher share of people with no religion at 52.1%.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, such as the typical weekly family income of around $2,700 and a similar share of residents with a university degree. Both areas also have roughly the same proportion of people who have moved house in the last five years. While they share these traits, some gaps are shifting; for example, the difference in typical age has widened since 2011, and the gap in the number of children has also grown.
