Beckenham Langford

Beckenham and Langford are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with different profiles of accessibility and income. Beckenham is more walkable for daily needs, with 78.7% of homes within a 15 minute walk of groceries compared to just 25.3% in Langford. However, Langford has much better access to education, with far more schools per 1,000 children (2.73 versus 0.56). Beckenham is also the wealthier of the two; its typical household income is $1,667 a week, which is well higher than the $1,318 seen in Langford.

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, though the gap in mobility has shifted as Beckenham has seen a much larger rise in people moving in over the last five years.
