Parkerville Swan View

Parkerville and Swan View are neighbouring areas with very different lifestyles. Parkerville is a more affluent, car-dependent area where the typical household income is $2,383 a week and 100% of homes are separate houses. In contrast, Swan View is more urban, with a typical household income of $1,403 and a much higher share of renters at 20.6%. Parkerville also has a higher proportion of people who finished Year 12 (59.4%) and a higher rate of adults working or looking for work (70.1%).

These two areas share a similar level of residential stability, with about 30% of people moving in the last five years. However, the gap in accessibility is wide and persists; Swan View is somewhat walkable and most homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park or public transport, while Parkerville is car-dependent with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. This is also seen in the transport gap, as Swan View has far more public transport departures per 1,000 people.
