Bassendean Guildford

Bassendean (WA) and Guildford (WA) are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with distinct profiles. Guildford (WA) is generally wealthier, with a typical weekly family income of $3,005 compared to $2,367 in Bassendean (WA). Residents in Guildford (WA) are also noticeably older, with a typical age of 46 and a higher share of seniors at 21.3%. The two areas differ sharply in accessibility; while 64% of homes in Bassendean (WA) are within a 15-minute walk of health services, no homes in Guildford (WA) share that proximity. Conversely, Guildford (WA) is more walkable overall, with 98.5% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to 83.1% in Bassendean (WA).

These differences stand out against many shared traits, as both areas have nearly identical typical weekly rents and the same average number of people per home. While they share a similar proportion of First Nations people, the gap in First Nations personal income is notable, with the typical figure well higher in Bassendean (WA) at $559 compared to $366 in Guildford (WA).
