Edmondson Park Prestons

Prestons and Edmondson Park are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct characters. Edmondson Park is a high-earning hub where 37.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree, compared to 21.6% in Prestons. It is also a much more transient place, with 73.9% of people moving in during the last five years, while only 24.3% of Prestons residents did the same. In contrast, Prestons is more established and walkable, featuring far more public transport stops and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (56.0% versus 29.0% in Edmondson Park).

Both areas share an identical 32-minute drive time to the city and have very similar household sizes, typically fitting between 3.4 and 3.6 people per home. While they both have high proportions of overseas-born residents and people using another language at home, the gap in education and income remains significant.
