Bickley Kalamunda

Kalamunda and Bickley are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Kalamunda is a very walkable hub where 71.2% of homes are within 15 minutes of groceries and many residents live alone (24.8%). In contrast, Bickley is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of health services or groceries. Bickley is also wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,241 compared to $1,622 in Kalamunda, and a much higher share of households earning over $3,000 a week (35.2% versus 24.5%).

Both areas share a similar feel in other ways, such as having nearly the same percentage of children under 15 and very similar typical weekly rents. This consistency extends to their connection to the city, as the drive time is almost identical for both. While they track together on these basics, the gap in accessibility is stark: Kalamunda has frequent public transport and a walkability score of 6.1, while Bickley has no public transport stops and a score of 1.3.
