Legana is a younger, growing place where 40.3% of residents moved in during the last five years and the typical resident is 40. Typical family incomes are well higher in Legana at $1,970 per week. In contrast, Evandale is much older, with a typical age of 53, and more residents own their homes outright (53.3%).
