Doncaster East - South Donvale - Park Orchards

Donvale - Park Orchards and Doncaster East - South are neighbouring areas with very different housing and cultural profiles. Donvale - Park Orchards is a wealthier, more residential area where 89.9% of homes are separate houses and the typical family income is well higher at $2,717 a week. In contrast, Doncaster East - South is much more diverse, with 53.1% of people born overseas and a much higher share of townhouses and apartments. This is also reflected in the local layout; Doncaster East - South is a walker's paradise with high street connectivity, while Donvale - Park Orchards is somewhat walkable and has far fewer homes within walking distance of shops and health services.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some key ways. The gap in typical ages has widened, with residents now noticeably older in Donvale - Park Orchards. The difference in high-income households has also grown, and the gap in housing types has widened.
