Emu Park Park Avenue

Emu Park and Park Avenue are two nearby areas with very different characters. Emu Park is much older, with a typical resident aged 49 and 27.8% of people aged 65 and over. It is also more likely that residents own their homes outright, at 41.5%. In contrast, Park Avenue is far more walkable (somewhat walkable) and has a much younger typical resident of 36. It is also more diverse, with recent overseas arrivals at 21.6%, compared to just 3.5% in Emu Park.

Both areas have almost identical typical weekly household incomes, around $1,200 to $1,300. They also share similar housing styles, with separate houses making up about 87% of homes in each.
