Bayswater Perth

Bayswater and Perth are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different housing and lifestyles. Perth is a high-density hub where 90.1% of homes are flats or apartments, while Bayswater is much more suburban, with 70.8% of homes being separate houses. This reflects in the home sizes; 75.4% of homes in Bayswater have three or more bedrooms, which is 53 percentage points higher than in Perth. Perth also has a much more transient and diverse population, with 68.3% of people moving in the last five years and 54.1% born overseas, compared to 39.7% and 37.7% in Bayswater.

Both areas sit near the national average for their overall advantage scores. They also share similar levels of rainfall, maximum temperatures, and the proportion of people who have served in the Defence Force. While both are well-connected, the gap in public transport use and the number of people moving into the area has widened since 2011. Perth remains far more reliant on rentals and public transport, whereas Bayswater has more people owning their homes outright.
