Edmondson Park Prestons

Prestons and Edmondson Park are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with very different growth patterns. Edmondson Park is a rapidly expanding area where 73.9% of people moved in during the last five years, while Prestons has seen a small population drop of 1.4% since 2021. Education and housing also differ sharply; 37.5% of adults in Edmondson Park hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 21.6% in Prestons. While Prestons has a higher share of homes owned outright (23.3% versus 8.2%), Edmondson Park has a much higher proportion of renters at 31.8%.

The gap in population growth between the two is widening significantly, reflecting the same trend seen in their different levels of accessibility. Prestons is more established with far more public transport stops and departures, and more homes within a short walk of schools and health services. Both areas share several traits, such as similar typical weekly rents around $520 to $550 and a similar number of people per home. They also both have large proportions of residents born overseas and people who use a language other than English at home.
