Mornington Peninsula Perth - North West

Perth - North West and Mornington Peninsula are both large residential regions, but they differ sharply in their populations and layouts. Perth - North West is far more diverse, with 38.6% of people born overseas and 20.4% using a language other than English at home. It is also more urban in feel, with far more public transport trips, better street connectivity, and 96.4% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop. In contrast, Mornington Peninsula is much older, with a typical resident aged 44 compared to 38 in Perth - North West, and it is far more likely to be a place where people work from home (21.4% versus 8.0%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally grown. The difference in the share of overseas-born residents and those who do not identify with a religion has widened, while the age gap has increased as Mornington Peninsula has grown older than Perth - North West. Despite these diverging trends, they remain very similar in some areas of daily life. Both regions have almost identical typical weekly rents around $360 and the same typical monthly mortgage payments, as well as an equal share of First Nations people who have finished Year 12.
