Allansford Peterborough

Allansford and Peterborough are two nearby Victorian areas with very different profiles. Peterborough is far older, with a typical resident aged 56 compared to 38 in Allansford. This is reflected in the share of seniors, which is 32.2% in Peterborough but only 13.6% in Allansford. While Allansford has more children and a higher share of high-earning households (14.2% earn $3,000+ a week), Peterborough has more residents with bachelor degrees (23.1%) and a much higher proportion of homeowners who own their homes outright (51.0%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have often widened or flipped. Residents in Peterborough have become far older and more likely to live alone than those in Allansford.
