Bassendean Victoria Park

Victoria Park and Bassendean are neighbouring areas with very different housing and social profiles. Victoria Park is a high-density hub where 44.5% of households rent and 37.6% of people were born overseas. It has a highly educated workforce, with 36.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, and is very walkable with 97.4% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, Bassendean is more residential, with 78.5% of homes being separate houses and 80.1% having three or more bedrooms. Residents here are typically older, and 27.2% were born overseas.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, such as nearly identical rates of volunteering at 16.5% and very similar typical weekly household incomes. While Victoria Park has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals, the gap for people born overseas has narrowed since 2011. The two areas also show a closing gap in the proportion of people who have moved in the last five years.
