Belmont Gosnells

Gosnells and Belmont are nearby Perth areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Gosnells is a place for larger families, where 90.5% of homes have three or more bedrooms and 88.8% are separate houses. In contrast, Belmont has far more renters (44.0%) and a higher share of people living alone (32.9%). Gosnells also has a much larger population of children under 15 at 20.8%, which helps explain why there are far more schools and a higher share of people caring for children unpaid compared to Belmont.

Both areas sit near the national figure for typical weekly household incomes, which are around $1,650. They also share the same typical resident age of 36 and an identical share of First Nations people. Over time, some gaps have grown; for example, the difference in the number of separate houses and the share of renters has widened since 2011. While Belmont is more connected with far more public transport departures, Gosnells provides better local access to health services for 65.5% of its homes.
