Armadale Belmont

Armadale and Belmont are both established parts of Greater Perth, but they offer very different lifestyles. Armadale is a family-oriented area with far more children under 15 (23.5% compared to 15.9% in Belmont) and far more people caring for children unpaid (33.4% versus 23.2%). This is reflected in the housing, where separate houses (89.9%) and homes with three or more bedrooms (91.7%) are far higher in Armadale than in Belmont, where flats and apartments are more common. Belmont is much more urban, with far more people renting (44.0% versus 22.1%) and a far higher share of people living alone (32.9% compared to 21.4%).

These two areas share very similar typical weekly family incomes of around $2,070 and almost identical rates of volunteering. Despite these shared economic traits, their layouts differ sharply. Belmont is much more walkable, with 89.0% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to 53.2% in Armadale. Over time, the gap in rental rates and the difference in home sizes have both widened.
