Life in Blacktown is much more walkable, with 94.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and a very walkable score of 7.1. In contrast, Arndell Park is somewhat walkable, with only 20.0% of homes near a school. The two areas also differ by age and income; the typical resident in Blacktown is 34 and the typical weekly household income is $1,774, whereas in Arndell Park the typical resident is far older at 45 and household income is lower at $1,375.
