Ascot Rivervale

Rivervale and Ascot (WA) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Rivervale is a younger, more transient place where the typical resident is 34 and 53.1% of homes are rented. It is more diverse, with 31.4% of people using another language at home, and it has far better access to daily needs, with 98.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Ascot (WA) is an older area where the typical resident is 46 and homes are more often owned outright (34.5%). Residents there are more likely to live in separate houses (70.1%) and larger homes, with 78.3% having three or more bedrooms.

Both areas have tracked similarly in several ways since 2011, maintaining almost identical typical weekly incomes and unemployment rates. They share a similar proportion of First Nations residents and an equal level of access to parks. While Rivervale has seen a higher influx of new residents, with 54.5% moving in during the last five years, both areas remain well-connected, with nearly all homes located within 10 minutes of public transport.
