Mona Park is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,166 compared to $1,339 in Horseshoe Lagoon. This wealth is reflected in Mona Park's higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (23.4% versus 7.4%) and a much higher rate of adults working or looking for work. Horseshoe Lagoon is more diverse, with more people born overseas (14.1%) and a higher share of residents who use a language other than English at home (14.6%).

Both areas also have a similar proportion of children under 15, around 24%, and almost identical numbers of people per home.
