Ardross Brentwood

Ardross and Brentwood (WA) are neighbouring areas in Perth's west, but they differ markedly in wealth and housing. Ardross is a more affluent area, with 47.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 36.2% in Brentwood (WA). This is reflected in the typical weekly household income, which is $2,361 in Ardross and $1,707 in Brentwood (WA). There is also a stark contrast in First Nations outcomes; for example, 82.6% of First Nations people in Ardross completed Year 12, compared to 31.1% in Brentwood (WA).

Both areas are almost identical in how many people provide unpaid care, sitting around 12% to 13%. They also share similar levels of full-time employment and almost the same travel time to the city. While Ardross has far more separate houses and higher rates of outright home ownership, Brentwood (WA) has a much higher share of renters. These gaps have shifted since 2011, with the difference in the share of people renting between the two areas now far higher.
