Bayswater Joondalup

Joondalup and Bayswater are two different types of suburban hubs in Greater Perth. Joondalup is a sprawling area with far more large family homes, as 93.4% of dwellings have three or more bedrooms and separate houses are far more common. It also has a higher proportion of high earners, with 30.6% of households making $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Bayswater is more compact and diverse, with a far higher share of people using a language other than English at home (27.2%) and many more renters (31.9%).

Daily life in both places shares several similarities, including a nearly identical share of people born overseas and very similar typical weekly incomes. This common ground exists alongside some widening gaps; for instance, residents in Joondalup are now noticeably older than those in Bayswater. While both areas are well-connected, Bayswater is closer to the city and has more frequent public transport departures, with 84.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to 68.6% in Joondalup.
