Belmont Maylands

Maylands (WA) and Belmont (WA) are neighbouring suburbs with very different housing styles. Maylands is dominated by flats and apartments, with only 31.0% of homes being separate houses, while Belmont is mostly detached housing at 75.4%. This difference extends to the people living there; Maylands has a much higher share of university graduates (40.5% compared to 23.5%) and more people earning over $2,000 a week (18.1% versus 12.4%). In contrast, Belmont has far more large homes, with 74.9% having three or more bedrooms compared to just 46.0% in Maylands.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining closely matched in several key ways. They share the same typical resident age of 36 and nearly identical typical weekly household incomes. Life in both places is generally walkable, though Belmont has more homes within a 15-minute walk of a school (87.5%) and a higher share of residents who use a language other than English at home (30.2% compared to 24.1%).
