Brabham Dayton

Brabham and Dayton are neighbouring suburbs in Perth's north-east. Dayton is more walkable, with 55.2% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to 41.3% in Brabham. This extends to shopping and transit, as Dayton has a far higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and far more weekly public transport departures. In contrast, Brabham provides much better access to health services, where 39% of homes are within a 15-minute walk compared to none in Dayton. Renting is also far more common in Dayton, where 22% of households rent, while only 11.6% do so in Brabham.

These two areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes, both sitting around $2,100. They are also alike in their high levels of cultural diversity, with people born overseas and those using languages other than English making up nearly half the population in both places. This shared profile is consistent with both areas having a very high proportion of people caring for children unpaid compared to the national figure.
