St Marys (L) is somewhat walkable, with 88.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 86.4% near health services. In contrast, Fingal (L) is mostly car-dependent; no homes there are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. Other key differences include education and origins, as St Marys (L) has a well higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (12.6% compared to 3.2% in Fingal (L)) and more people born overseas (14.4% versus 8.3%).

Both towns sit near the national figure for the share of people providing unpaid care.
