Banjup Piara Waters

Piara Waters and Banjup are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Piara Waters is a young, diverse hub where the typical resident is 31 and 30.5% of the population are children. It is also more culturally diverse, with 50.1% of people born overseas and 45.8% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Banjup is older, with a typical resident aged 42 and a much higher share of seniors at 16.8%. While Piara Waters is described as somewhat walkable, Banjup is car-dependent, with far fewer people living within walking distance of schools, parks or shops.

These two areas are almost identical in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $2,500. Both areas also have similar family structures, with about 3 people per home and a similar share of one-parent families. However, they differ in how they own their homes; 43.8% of Banjup residents own their home outright, while only 8.1% do so in Piara Waters. This gap in home ownership is consistent with the age difference, as Piara Waters has many more young families with mortgages.
