Panorama vs Pasadena

Panorama is the younger of the two, with a median age of 43 against 49 in Pasadena. In both, the large majority of households own their home and most homes are detached houses. In Panorama, about half of households are couple families. On these figures, Pasadena tends to suit people living alone and older residents.
