Ashfield Bayswater

Bayswater (WA) and Ashfield (WA) are neighbouring areas with contrasting profiles in education and accessibility. Bayswater (WA) has a more highly qualified population, with 34.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 24.2% in Ashfield (WA). This is consistent with a higher share of people in Bayswater (WA) earning $2,000 or more a week (19.7% versus 15.2%) and more residents born overseas (31.3% versus 26.5%). In contrast, Ashfield (WA) is more walkable for many; more homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries (92.4% versus 74.8%) and schools (96.1% versus 82.8%), and rental properties are far more common (37.8% versus 27.6%).
