Prospect The Parks

The Parks and Prospect are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. The Parks is a highly multicultural hub where 48.2% of people were born overseas and 56.5% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Prospect has a more affluent population with a typical weekly personal income of $962, which is far higher than the $566 seen in The Parks. This difference in wealth is reflected in education and employment, with 40.3% of Prospect adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 22.2% in The Parks.

The gap in typical weekly income has widened since 2011, moving from $273 to $396. Despite this, the two areas share a very similar age structure, with children under 15 making up about 17% of both populations. They are also alike in their housing density, with both averaging 2.6 or 2.5 people per home. While Prospect is generally more walkable, both areas are close to the national figure for the share of people with a mental health condition.
