Moore Pearce

Pearce and Moore are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Moore is an older and more affluent area, where the typical resident is 42 and 36.8% of homes are owned outright. It is much more walkable, with 75.5% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed and 60.8% within a short walk of health services. In contrast, Pearce is notably younger, with a typical age of 35 and a higher share of children under 15 (22.6%). Residents in Pearce are more likely to rent (21.4%) or have a mortgage, and the area is less walkable, with only 32.2% of homes near health services.

Both areas are very similar in the size of their households, with about 2.8 people per home. While they share this commonality, other gaps are widening. Since 2011, the difference in the typical age of residents has grown from two years to seven years, and the gap in outright home ownership has increased significantly. Pearce has also become more diverse over time, with a higher share of people born overseas and more residents using a language other than English at home.
