Claremont Perth

Perth and Claremont are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Perth is a young, diverse hub where the typical resident is 33 and 54.1% were born overseas. In contrast, Claremont is far older, with a typical age of 43 and 24.5% of people aged 65 or over. This age difference is reflected in the housing; Perth is dominated by apartments and renters, while 41.1% of Claremont homes are owned outright and 47.1% are separate houses. Claremont also has a higher share of high earners, with 37.5% of households making $3,000 or more a week.

Everyday life in both areas is shaped by similar surroundings, from the same rainfall and temperature to the fact that everyone lives within a 10-minute walk of public transport. They also share a high level of overall advantage and similar school sizes. However, the gap in demographics is shifting; residents in Claremont have become even older compared to those in Perth, and the difference in the share of people who rent has widened since 2011.
