Enfield Linton

Enfield and Linton are two small Victorian areas with very different profiles. Enfield is a younger community where the typical resident is 37 and typical weekly household income is far higher at $1,933. It has a higher share of children and large homes, with 88.7% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Linton is far older, with a typical age of 47 and a much higher share of seniors at 28.1%. It is also a place where people are more likely to live alone (35.3%) and own their homes outright (44.4%), though typical weekly household incomes are much lower at $1,117.

Both areas are almost identical in their housing stock, as nearly every home in both places is a separate house. They also share a similar level of education, with about 13% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. While both are mostly car-dependent, Linton is more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and public transport. Over time, the gap in typical age has widened, and the difference in household income has also grown since 2011.
