Berkshire Park Bligh Park

Bligh Park and Berkshire Park are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Bligh Park is a more active, walkable hub where 23% of people are children and 71.2% of adults are working or looking for work. In contrast, Berkshire Park is car-dependent and more residential, with only 9% of people being children and a much lower 25.5% of adults working or looking for work. Housing also differs sharply; 50.8% of Berkshire Park homes are owned outright, compared to just 19.4% in Bligh Park.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people with no religion, with Bligh Park at 37.7% and Berkshire Park at 9.6%. They also share similar typical weekly household incomes of around $2,030 and identical unemployment rates of 3.6%. While Bligh Park is somewhat walkable and has far more public transport departures, Berkshire Park is more car-dependent. This gap in accessibility and the difference in home ownership have remained significant between these two neighbours.
