Bayswater Victoria Park

Bayswater and Victoria Park are neighbouring areas in Perth with very different housing and street layouts. Bayswater has a far higher share of separate houses (70.8% compared to 54.4%) and homes with three or more bedrooms (75.4% versus 64.2%). In contrast, Victoria Park is more densely packed and urban, with far more people renting their homes (44.5% versus 31.9%) and a far higher number of recent overseas arrivals (20.6% compared to 10.3%).

Both areas are almost identical in the share of people born overseas, which sits at around 38%. This common international backdrop exists alongside different levels of accessibility; Victoria Park has far more walkable amenities and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. While Bayswater has far higher access to money and resources, the gap in home ownership has narrowed since 2011 as more people in both areas move into different types of tenure.
