Belmont Perth Airport

Belmont (WA) is a populated residential hub, while Perth Airport is sparsely populated and largely non-residential. The two areas differ sharply in their demographics; Belmont (WA) has a much higher share of children (15.3%) and seniors (13.6%), whereas Perth Airport has none in these groups. Education and income levels are also far higher in Belmont (WA), where 60.5% of residents completed Year 12 and 12.4% earn $2,000 or more a week.
