Bligh Park Windsor Downs

Bligh Park and Windsor Downs are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Bligh Park is much younger, with a typical resident aged 32 and children under 15 making up 23.0% of the population. This is a place of many renters (34.7%) and one-parent families (18.0%), with a high number of people caring for children unpaid. In contrast, Windsor Downs is far older, with a typical age of 49 and 19.4% of people aged 65 and over. It is dominated by homeowners, as 54.3% own their homes outright, and 40.2% of households earn $3,000 or more a week.

Everyday life in both areas is similar in terms of typical weekly incomes and the rate of people with long-term health conditions. They also share a very low rate of people who speak little or no English. However, their layouts differ sharply; Bligh Park is somewhat walkable with high access to public transport, while Windsor Downs is car-dependent. This gap in accessibility is stark, as 100% of Bligh Park homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport compared to only 40.4% in Windsor Downs.
