Lakelands Parklands

Lakelands (WA) and Parklands (WA) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Lakelands (WA) is a much younger and more transient place, where the typical resident is 32 and 46.8% of people moved here in the last five years. It is also more accessible, with a walkability score that is somewhat walkable, while Parklands (WA) is car-dependent. In contrast, Parklands (WA) has a far older population, with a typical age of 45, and more residents who own their homes outright (40.7% compared to 20.1% in Lakelands (WA)).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people born overseas. They are also very similar in terms of typical weekly incomes, the share of residents with a bachelor degree, and the fact that almost every home is a separate house. While Lakelands (WA) has far more public transport stops and a higher share of renters, both neighbours remain similarly reliant on cars for most trips.
