Enfield Mount Egerton

Enfield and Mount Egerton are two small Victorian areas with distinct living patterns. Enfield is a younger place, where 24.6% of people are children and 88.7% of homes have three or more bedrooms. Mount Egerton is older, with a typical resident aged 42 compared to 37 in Enfield, and a far higher share of people living alone (30.8% versus 15.1%). Mount Egerton is also more walkable, as it is mostly car-dependent while Enfield is simply car-dependent, with far more residents within walking distance of parks, schools and groceries.

Their different paths are clearest in the share of people born overseas, which is well higher in Mount Egerton (16.1% versus 7.9%) and a gap that has widened since 2011. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas are very similar in other ways. They share nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes and typical rents, and both consist entirely of separate houses. They also have almost the same proportion of people living with a long-term health condition.
