Mascot Tempe

Mascot and Tempe are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Mascot is a young, fast-moving hub where the typical resident is 30 and 59.8% were born overseas. It is dominated by apartments, with 56.7% of households renting and 63% of people moving in within the last five years. Tempe is more established and family-oriented, with a typical age of 39 and 67.5% of homes being separate houses. It also has a much higher share of homeowners, with 30.2% owning their place outright compared to 16.2% in Mascot.

These two areas share a similar lifestyle in terms of convenience, as almost every home in both places is within a 15-minute walk of groceries, parks, and public transport. They also have a similar typical weekly rent of $600. However, the gap in housing types is wide and stark, with separate houses far more common in Tempe while flats or apartments are the norm in Mascot.
