Parkes (ACT) - South Barton

Barton and Parkes (ACT) - South are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory, though they differ greatly in scale and demographics. Barton is a very walkable area with 1,946 residents, where the typical weekly household income is $2,462 and typical rent is $525.
