Greenfields Parklands

Greenfields and Parklands (WA) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Parklands (WA) is a wealthier area where the typical household earns $2,195 a week, compared to $1,004 in Greenfields. This gap is seen in the homes, as Parklands (WA) has a far higher share of detached houses (98.9%) and larger homes with four or more bedrooms. Greenfields is more accessible for pedestrians, described as somewhat walkable, while Parklands (WA) is car-dependent. This is reflected in the services; for example, 91.8% of Greenfields homes are within a 10 minute walk of public transport, while only 3.7% of homes in Parklands (WA) are.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining their distinct roles as a high-density hub and a low-density residential zone.
