Burt O'Connor

Burt and O'Connor are two large Western Australian areas with very different characters. Burt is a more diverse and urbanised place, where 39.9% of people were born overseas and 30.6% use a language other than English at home. Its residents are younger, with a typical age of 35, and live in a more connected environment described as somewhat walkable. In contrast, O'Connor is much more car-dependent, with a typical age of 42 and a higher proportion of people who own their homes outright (36.8%). Life in O'Connor also involves more community engagement, with 22.0% of people volunteering compared to 11.9% in Burt.

These two areas are almost identical when it comes to typical personal income, which is around $750 to $770 a week. They also share similar rates of full-time employment and a nearly identical share of homes without a motor vehicle. Over time, the gaps between them have shifted significantly; for example, the difference in overseas birth and language use has grown as Burt has become far more multicultural since 2011.
