Ashby Carramar

Carramar and Ashby are neighbouring areas in Perth's north, yet they differ sharply in age and wealth. Carramar is a high-earning area where the typical weekly household income is $2,455, far higher than the $1,416 seen in Ashby. It is also dominated by larger homes, with 97.2% having three or more bedrooms compared to 72% in Ashby. In contrast, Ashby has a much older population, with 21.8% aged 65 and over, compared to just 10% in Carramar.

Both areas share a very similar profile in other ways, including their 25-minute drive time to the city and a similar share of adults with a university degree. They also both have a high proportion of people born overseas, with Carramar at 46.1% and Ashby at 42.1%.
