O'Connor Pearce

Pearce and O'Connor are two large Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Pearce is a younger area where the typical resident is 35 and 40.8% were born overseas. It is more urbanised, with far more public transport departures and a higher typical weekly income of $1,992. In contrast, O'Connor is older, with a typical age of 42 and a much higher share of people who own their homes outright (36.8%). O'Connor also has a higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (5.7%) and more volunteers, at 22%.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of one-parent families. Despite this common ground, many other gaps are widening; for example, the difference in the share of people born overseas has grown significantly since 2011. While Pearce has more people working or looking for work, O'Connor has a far higher number of schools serving its population. They share similar levels of mental health conditions and access to health services within a 15-minute walk.
