Bayswater Subiaco

Bayswater and Subiaco are both Greater Perth areas with distinct profiles. Subiaco is a high-income hub where 55.7% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, and the typical weekly personal income is well higher at $1,210. It is described as a walker's paradise, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries. Bayswater has a more family-oriented housing mix, with separate houses being far more common (70.8%) and homes with three or more bedrooms far more frequent (75.4%) than in Subiaco.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they share almost identical rates of full-time employment, children under 15, and people providing unpaid care. While they share these basics, some gaps are changing. The difference in typical weekly personal income has widened since 2011, and the share of people using another language at home is now well higher in Bayswater. Meanwhile, the gap in Year 12 completion has narrowed over the last decade.
