Gosnells South Perth

Gosnells and South Perth are nearby areas with very different profiles. South Perth has a much higher proportion of university-educated adults (42.9% compared to 20.4% in Gosnells) and more high-income households, with 30.7% earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 17.6% in Gosnells. In contrast, Gosnells is more culturally diverse, with 35.6% of people using a language other than English at home, which is far higher than the 20.5% in South Perth. Gosnells also has far more detached houses (88.8%) and larger family homes, while South Perth has a higher share of renters and apartments.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has widened in several ways. The difference in the share of people born overseas and those using another language at home has grown, while the divide in high incomes and university qualifications has also increased. Despite these trends, the two areas remain very similar in some daily realities; they have nearly identical rates of people with long-term health conditions and roughly the same proportion of residents who have served in the Defence Force.
