Padstow Padstow Heights

Padstow and Padstow Heights are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Padstow is a diverse, very walkable hub where 39.3% of people were born overseas and 46.1% use another language at home. It also has a much higher share of renters at 32.4%. In contrast, Padstow Heights is less diverse and more residential; it is described as somewhat walkable, and its residents are noticeably older, with 24.5% aged 65 and over compared to 16.9% in Padstow.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over. They also share several everyday realities, such as having an identical share of children under 15 at 16.9% and very similar typical weekly household incomes. While Padstow is far more connected to public transport and shops, the two areas have tracked closely in other ways, with nearly the same percentage of people serving in the Defence Force and similar typical monthly mortgage payments.
