Willetton Leeming

Willetton and Leeming are neighbouring suburbs in Perth's south, but they differ significantly in their cultural and social makeup. Willetton is far more diverse, with 52.1% of people born overseas and 44.8% using a language other than English at home, compared to 36.6% and 20.7% in Leeming. Residents in Willetton also have much easier access to essentials on foot, with 97.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and 96.8% near groceries, while Leeming's figures are 77.1% and 70.6% respectively.

These two areas are very similar in their daily rhythms, sharing nearly identical typical weekly household incomes and similar rates of people living alone or serving in the Defence Force. While they share these commonalities, the gap in cultural diversity and language use between them has widened since 2011.
