Bassendean South Guildford

Bassendean (WA) and South Guildford are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Bassendean (WA) is very walkable, with 83.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of local amenities and a typical commute to the city of 39 minutes. In contrast, South Guildford is mostly car-dependent, with only 7.8% of homes having a 15-minute walkshed and a much longer city commute of 80 minutes. South Guildford has a higher proportion of large homes, with 93.9% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms, compared to 78.6% in Bassendean (WA).

These two areas share similar typical family incomes and school advantage scores. However, the gap in household types is wide, as South Guildford has a far higher share of separate houses. This difference is also seen in the resident profiles; South Guildford has a higher share of children under 15, while Bassendean (WA) has a well higher share of people aged 65 and over. Many other measures, including the percentage of people who do not follow a religion, remain effectively equal across both areas.
