Belmont Swan

Swan and Belmont are nearby areas with very different characters. Swan is a sprawling area where separate houses are far more common (88.8%) and 89.6% of homes have three or more bedrooms. It has a higher share of children under 15 (21.7%) and more people caring for children unpaid. In contrast, Belmont is much more compact and walkable; 89% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed. Renting is far more common in Belmont (44.0%) than in Swan (22.1%), and far more people there live alone (32.9%).

Both areas are remarkably similar when it comes to typical weekly family income, which sits around $2,100. They also share a similar proportion of volunteers and First Nations residents. While they share these foundations, other gaps have grown since 2011. The difference in renting and the share of separate houses have both widened, as has the gap in the number of adults with a bachelor degree, which is now well higher in Belmont.
