Perth Tangney

Tangney and Perth are two nearby areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Tangney is a place of larger, detached homes, with 83.6% being separate houses and 88.7% having three or more bedrooms. It has a much higher share of homeowners, with 38.6% owning their place outright. In contrast, Perth is far more rental-heavy, with 40.9% of households renting and 35.6% of people living alone. Perth also has a higher proportion of flats or apartments and more people who have moved in the last five years (47.3% compared to 36.8% in Tangney).

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly family income of around $2,460 to $2,500, and their unemployment rates are nearly identical. They also have similar proportions of people who have completed Year 12 and a similar share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While these similarities remain, the gap in housing and living arrangements has widened since 2011, with Tangney becoming even more dominated by larger family homes and Perth by smaller, rented properties.
