Belmont Kalamunda

Kalamunda and Belmont are nearby areas in Greater Perth with very different housing and social profiles. Kalamunda is dominated by large, detached houses, with 93.8% of homes being separate houses and 91.1% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Belmont has more variety in its housing, with a far higher share of renters (44.0% compared to 16.7% in Kalamunda) and more people living alone. Belmont is also much more culturally diverse, with 40.9% of people born overseas and 31.0% using a language other than English at home, compared to 28.6% and 12.6% in Kalamunda respectively.

The gap in housing tenure has widened since 2011, with the difference in renting and outright ownership growing. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas share similar typical weekly family incomes, around $2,100, and have nearly identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. Both areas also sit close to the national figure for overall advantage.
