Brabham Caversham

Brabham and Caversham are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with distinct community profiles. Brabham is a very young area where the typical resident is 29, and it is more culturally diverse with 42.1% of people using a language other than English at home. It is also more transient, with 61% of residents having moved in the last five years. In contrast, Caversham has a slightly older typical resident at 33 and is more likely to have homes owned outright, at 17.4% compared to just 4.1% in Brabham. While Brabham has better access to health services and schools within a 15-minute walk, Caversham is more walkable for groceries (81.8%) and has more public transport stops per 1,000 people.

These two areas have tracked similarly in many ways, with an almost identical share of First Nations people and the same number of people per home. However, the gap in home ownership is widening, as Brabham has a much higher share of mortgages (82.7%) compared to Caversham (64.8%). Both areas sit well below the national figure for typical home ownership, reflecting the local housing market for these growing suburbs.
