Homeleigh New Park

New Park and Homeleigh are neighbouring rural areas with small populations. New Park is much older and more solitary, with 31.7% of residents aged 65 and over and 41% of people living alone. In contrast, Homeleigh has a more working-age feel, with 60% of adults working or looking for work and 18% of people earning $2,000 or more a week. Homeleigh also has a higher share of people who completed Year 12 (50.5%) and more people working from home (29.8%).

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining quite alike in their typical weekly household incomes and the share of children under 15. They both lack public transport, and while New Park has more nearby amenities like shops and health services, both are predominantly residential. This is seen in their housing, where separate houses are the main dwelling type, reaching 100% in Homeleigh.
