It is also far more culturally diverse, with 50.9% of people born overseas and 42.8% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Victoria Park is more urban; 44.5% of its households are rented, and 34.6% of residents live alone. There is also a notable gap in income, with typical weekly personal pay in Victoria Park being $987, which is well higher than the $768 found in Canning.
