Langford Parkwood

Parkwood and Langford are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with similar populations. Parkwood has a notably older population, with a typical age of 42 compared to 36 in Langford, and a higher share of people aged 65 and over. This older demographic is consistent with a more affluent profile; typical weekly family income is well higher in Parkwood at $1,928, compared to $1,494 in Langford. Parkwood also has a higher share of homes owned outright (41.8% compared to 26.8%), while renting is far more common in Langford. Local amenities also differ, as Parkwood is more walkable for groceries and health services, whereas Langford is far more walkable for schools.

Both areas are almost identical in how many of their homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park. This shared access to green space sits alongside a common housing style, as both areas are dominated by detached houses.
