Mowbray Park The Oaks

The Oaks and Mowbray Park are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. The Oaks is a larger community where the typical resident is 37, while Mowbray Park is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 46. There are significant differences in how people live; The Oaks has a far higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (90.6% compared to 50.0%) and is considered somewhat walkable. In contrast, Mowbray Park is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, park, or grocery store.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very alike in their typical weekly personal incomes and the share of people who work from home. They also share a similar lack of public transport use for commuting. While they are nearly identical in some respects, the gap in walkability remains stark, with The Oaks offering far more local amenities within walking distance than Mowbray Park.
