Park Ridge Stockleigh

Park Ridge and Stockleigh are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Park Ridge is a larger, more diverse hub where 35.8% of people were born overseas and 26.3% use a language other than English at home. It is a younger area with a typical resident aged 30, and it is much more walkable, with 44.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. Stockleigh is far more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $2,437 compared to $1,418 in Park Ridge. It is almost entirely made up of detached houses, with 93.8% having three or more bedrooms.

Both areas have tracked similarly in some ways since 2011, but the gaps in housing and demographics remain stark. While they share similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (around 3.5%), the two areas differ sharply on tenure. Renting is far more common in Park Ridge at 50.1%, while 57.1% of Stockleigh households have a mortgage. This split is consistent with Park Ridge's higher number of recent overseas arrivals and its larger, more urban school system.
