Eschol Park Gregory Hills

Gregory Hills and Eschol Park are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, but they differ sharply in their demographics and layout. Gregory Hills is a much younger and more mobile place, with 70.4% of people moving in during the last five years and a typical age of just 30. It is also more diverse and highly qualified; 36.8% of residents use a language other than English at home and 26.7% hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Eschol Park has a higher share of homes owned outright (27.5%) and more people with long-term health conditions (31.4%).

Both areas are similar in that they have nearly the same amount of public transport stops and almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park.
