Cardigan Village Learmonth

Cardigan Village and Learmonth are neighbouring areas with very different age profiles. Cardigan Village is a young community where the typical resident is 32 and 32% of people are children under 15. This helps explain why 46.4% of people there are unpaid carers for children. In contrast, Learmonth is much older, with a typical age of 46 and 19.5% of people aged 65 and over. These differences extend to wealth and housing, with typical weekly household incomes well higher in Cardigan Village at $2,200 compared to $1,531 in Learmonth, and a far higher share of large 4-bedroom homes in Cardigan Village.

The gap in typical ages has widened since 2011, growing from 10 to 14 years. Despite this, the two areas share several traits, such as having a similar share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher and almost identical unemployment rates. Both areas are also very remote from essential services, as no homes in either place are within a 15-minute walk of a school, health services, or groceries.
