Demand 5/10: a small, modest, multicultural City of Gosnells suburb (5,505 residents; lowest incomes, household $1,318/week; oldest median age of its belt at 36; Chinese 14.8% ancestry) with a social-housing history now gradually gentrifying — no rail, served by buses along Nicholson Road, daily retail at The Brook / Langford shops.
