Marsden Park Oakhurst

Marsden Park and Oakhurst (NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Marsden Park is a highly mobile community where 88.9% of people moved in the last five years, compared to just 27.7% in Oakhurst (NSW). It has a more qualified workforce, with 44.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, well above the 21.6% in Oakhurst (NSW). This is reflected in higher incomes, where the typical household in Marsden Park earns $2,722 a week, which is $625 more than the $2,097 typical for Oakhurst (NSW).

Both areas are very diverse and have similar household sizes, averaging about 3.3 to 3.4 people per home. However, the gap in accessibility is stark; nearly all homes in Oakhurst (NSW) are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and schools, while only about half of Marsden Park homes share that advantage. This difference in walkability is a growing divide, as Marsden Park is now far more likely to have residents working from home and earning higher salaries than its neighbour.
