Joondalup Wanneroo

Wanneroo and Joondalup are large, nearby areas in Greater Perth with very different layouts. Joondalup is much more walkable, with 77.8% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to 51.6% in Wanneroo. This is reflected in the street connectivity, which is far higher in Joondalup. Joondalup also has a wealthier and older population; the typical resident is 41, while in Wanneroo they are 35. Joondalup has a higher share of people with bachelor degrees (27.0% versus 17.3%) and more homes owned outright (36.3% versus 21.0%).

The gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, as have the differences in income and education. However, both areas are quite similar when it comes to the size of their homes and the number of people living in them. They also share similar levels of school advantage and a low share of residents who use public transport to get to work. Both areas sit well above the national figure for the proportion of people born overseas.
