Angle Vale
14 km²

The population grew by 73% since 2011, and the typical resident is now just 35, making it noticeably younger than the rest of the state. It is a place of large family homes and high incomes, where many residents are raising children in a mostly car-dependent setting. This shift toward a younger, wealthier community is reflected in the rise of high-earning households and a strong preference for detached housing.
