Claremont Nedlands

Nedlands and Claremont are neighbouring areas in Perth that both see very high levels of wealth, though they differ in how they are built. Nedlands has a much stronger focus on family life, with 83.6% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a far higher share of separate houses (81.6% compared to 47.1% in Claremont). This is consistent with Nedlands having more children under 15 and a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (48.4% versus 37.5%). In contrast, Claremont is more compact and urban, with far more people living alone (31.9%) and a higher share of flats or apartments.

Everyday life in both places is very similar, with residents sharing the same typical age of 43 and nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes. They also both have a very high proportion of adults with bachelor degrees, though this is well higher in Nedlands at 56.2%. While both areas are well above the national figure for income, the gap between them has widened over time, with typical household incomes in Nedlands rising further away from those in Claremont since 2011.
