Burlong Irishtown

Burlong and Irishtown (WA) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Burlong is a much younger place, with a typical resident aged 35, and it has a huge overseas-born population of 92.4%. In contrast, Irishtown (WA) is far older, with a typical age of 48 and 21.4% of people aged 65 and over. Economic gaps are also wide; the typical household income in Irishtown (WA) is $2,100 a week, which is far higher than the $725 seen in Burlong.

Both areas are car-dependent, with no residents living within walking distance of shops, schools or public transport. This shared reliance on cars remains constant as other differences shift, such as the gap in mobility, with 35.4% of Irishtown (WA) residents moving in the last five years compared to just 2.1% in Burlong. This suggests Irishtown (WA) is becoming more transient while Burlong remains very stable.
