City Beach vs Floreat

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.6 km apart · City Beach profile · Floreat profile

City Beach Floreat

Floreat and City Beach are neighbouring coastal areas in Western Australia with distinct differences in layout and demographics. Floreat is much more walkable, with 81.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to 47.6% in City Beach. It also has a younger feel, with 21.8% of residents being children under 15, and is more active in the workforce, with 68.1% of adults working or looking for work. City Beach is noticeably older, where the typical resident is 47 and 22.8% are seniors, and it is more expensive to rent, with a typical weekly rent of $750 compared to $600 in Floreat.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked differently, with gaps widening in the share of adults with degrees and those who report no religion. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly household incomes and the low percentage of people who speak a language other than English at home. Both areas sit far above the national figure for adults with bachelor degrees, reflecting a consistently high level of qualification across this part of the coast.
