If you swap "Young" or "young at heart" for "fit" I'll agree with you, to a point. I'm not sure that the inner burbs have the lock on "fit" or "healthy" people. e.g. the elderley medditerraneans and asians out my way and in the Nth and Sth Eastern burbs are probably "healthier" than most, and "fitness" gyms like F45 are all over the place and attract the beautiful young things like moths to a flame. There's one in Reservoir that is jam packed every morning at 4.30am with sweaty young (and not so young) things. Winter or summer, no diff. The local trophy wives and young women start their 4.30-5.00am walking in Mill Park around august these days. Meh, details.....human909 wrote: Plus fit people choose to live in suburbs that appeal to their fit life outlook.
And I have disputed the evidence gathering for that map before. Not the general idea, just the numbers. It's to easy for one person to be counted multipe times in the same survey. IIRC, someone riding into the CBD from Reservoir along the St Georges Rd path could be counted 4 or 5 times. That skews the numbers perceived at Fitzroy for instance. But agin, just details...
