Council (LGA) comparison ≈ 3.8 km apart · Nedlands profile · Subiaco profile

Nedlands Subiaco

Nedlands and Subiaco are neighbouring areas with very different housing and income profiles. Nedlands is far more likely to have large separate houses, with 83.6% of homes having three or more bedrooms compared to 51.3% in Subiaco. This is consistent with a higher proportion of families, as children under 15 are more common in Nedlands. The wealth gap is also significant; 48.4% of Nedlands households earn $3,000 or more a week, which is far higher than the 34.8% in Subiaco.

This gap in high-income households has widened since 2011. While they differ in housing, both areas are very similar in other ways, such as having a highly educated workforce where over 55% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. They also share similar unemployment rates and population growth. Subiaco is much more compact, however, and is a walker's paradise with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of both groceries and health services.
