Wilton Menangle Park

Wilton and Menangle Park (L) are nearby areas in New South Wales that now offer very different lifestyles. Wilton is a larger, more walkable community where 31.2% of residents are children and a high share of households earn $3,000 or more a week (44.9%). In contrast, Menangle Park (L) is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much higher proportion of renters (48.5%) and a larger share of one-parent families (23.3%).

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged sharply across almost every measure. While they still share similar levels of volunteering and very low public transport use, the gap in typical weekly household income has widened, with Wilton now $1,321 higher. The lead has also flipped for several indicators, including the share of residents with a bachelor's degree, which is now far higher in Wilton (19.8%) than in Menangle Park (L) (5.3%).
