Mount Elliot Niagara Park

Mount Elliot (NSW) is a wealthier, older area where the typical resident is 48 and 57.7% of homes are owned outright. It has a much higher share of university qualifications (35.3%) and high-income households earning $3,000 or more a week (40.4%). In contrast, Niagara Park is younger, with a typical age of 37, and is more rental-heavy, with 25% of homes rented. It is also far more connected, with a walkability score of 5.0 (somewhat walkable) compared to Mount Elliot (NSW), which is 0.8 (car-dependent).

While both areas share a similar proportion of First Nations people and about 15% to 16% of residents born overseas, the gap in their housing and wealth is stark. This divide is most visible in the home ownership patterns, where Mount Elliot (NSW) has a far higher share of homes owned outright.
