Glen Alpine Menangle Park

Glen Alpine and Menangle Park are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Glen Alpine is a more populous and affluent area, where 40.7% of households earn $3,000 or more a week and 24% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. It is also more diverse, with 27.7% of people born overseas and 22.9% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Menangle Park is sparsely populated and has a much higher rental rate of 47.8%. Life there is more car-dependent, with a walkability score of 1.1, compared to 3.2 (mostly car-dependent) in Glen Alpine.

While these areas differ in wealth and education, they are almost identical in other ways, such as having the same share of people caring for children unpaid. The gap in rental patterns is particularly stark, as renting is far higher in Menangle Park. This contrast stands out against the national figure, where rental rates are generally much lower than the 47.8% seen in Menangle Park.
