Bushmead Greenmount

Greenmount (WA) and Bushmead are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Greenmount (WA) is an older area where the typical resident is 46 and 26.1% of the population are seniors. In contrast, Bushmead is much younger, with a typical age of 32 and only 5.3% aged 65 and over. This age gap is reflected in the workforce and wealth; Bushmead has far higher typical weekly household incomes at $2,742, compared to $1,669 in Greenmount (WA), and a much larger share of residents with bachelor degrees (29.3% versus 16.8%).

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, most notably in their stability. While Greenmount (WA) has a more settled population, Bushmead has seen a massive influx of new residents, with 94.7% moving in during the last five years. Despite this, they share a similar feel in some ways, with almost identical proportions of children under 15 and the same typical household size of 2.5 people. Both areas are also roughly the same distance from the city.
