Kings Park Northbridge

Northbridge and Kings Park are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Northbridge is a young, diverse hub where the typical resident is 31 and 54.4% were born overseas. In contrast, Kings Park is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 61 and 43.8% of people aged 65 and over. This difference in age is consistent with the health data; Northbridge is much lower than most areas for long-term health conditions (16.1%), while Kings Park is far higher (41.7%).

Both areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with Northbridge becoming a more transient and working hub and Kings Park remaining a wealthy residential pocket. While they share a similar share of people in de facto relationships, their finances differ wildly. Typical household income in Kings Park is far higher at $4,799 per week, compared to $1,853 in Northbridge. Both areas are highly accessible, though Northbridge is a walker's paradise while Kings Park is somewhat walkable.
