Douglas Park Menangle Park

Douglas Park and Menangle Park are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different housing and income profiles. Douglas Park has a more affluent feel, with 34.7% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and a far higher share of university graduates (15.2%). In contrast, Menangle Park is dominated by renters, who make up 47.8% of households—a far higher share than the 8.9% seen in Douglas Park. Douglas Park also has a higher proportion of children under 15 (19.1%) and a larger share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (14.1% compared to 3.8%).

While they differ in wealth, the two areas are effectively alike in their daily rhythms, with almost identical rates of full-time employment and people providing unpaid care. This contrast in stability is widening over time, as seen in the growing gap in home ownership and the fact that more people in Menangle Park have moved in the last five years.
