Spearwood Yangebup

Spearwood and Yangebup are neighbouring areas with very different housing and amenity profiles. Yangebup is more family-oriented, with a typical weekly household income of $1,915 and a much higher share of separate houses (89.8% compared to 74.2% in Spearwood). It also has more children under 15 (20.8% versus 15.4%) and a higher number of large homes with three or more bedrooms. Spearwood is more walkable for some and less for others; while more of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, Yangebup has far more homes within walking distance of health services (31.1% versus 9.7%).

Living patterns in the two areas have diverged as the gap in separate house ownership has widened since 2011. Despite this, they share many similarities, including an almost identical typical weekly rent of $350 and the same typical monthly mortgage payment of $1,733. They also have similar shares of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. While Spearwood has a higher proportion of people born overseas (35.0%) and those who use another language at home (24.8%), these gaps have narrowed over the last decade.
