Pallara Parkinson

Parkinson and Pallara are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and populations. Pallara is far more diverse and highly educated, with 55.8% of people born overseas and 42.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 44.0% and 31.0% in Parkinson. Parkinson is much more established and convenient; it is rated as somewhat walkable, while Pallara is mostly car-dependent. This is reflected in the local amenities, as 61.4% of Parkinson homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to just 13.5% in Pallara.

These two areas are moving in opposite directions, with the gap in new arrivals widening as 89.4% of Pallara residents moved in the last five years, compared to 36.5% in Parkinson. Despite this, they share many daily realities, such as a typical weekly household income of around $2,200 and the same average of 3.1 people per home. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for children under 15, though Pallara has a noticeably younger typical resident at 31.
