Bayswater Wantirna

Wantirna and Bayswater are neighbouring areas with very different housing and financial profiles. Wantirna is dominated by large, separate houses, with 90.1% being detached homes and 90.4% having three or more bedrooms. It is also wealthier, with 25% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and 38.7% of homes owned outright. In contrast, Bayswater has far more renters at 33.4%, more people living alone (28.3%), and a higher share of townhouses and apartments.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to their overall advantage scores, which sit right around the national average. This shared baseline exists alongside some widening gaps; since 2011, the difference in home ownership and the number of separate houses has grown. However, the gap in typical age has narrowed slightly, with Wantirna residents now noticeably older at 41 compared to 38 in Bayswater.
