Bushmead Maida Vale

Maida Vale and Bushmead are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Maida Vale is a more established place where residents are far older, with a typical age of 42 and 18.5% aged 65 and over. In contrast, Bushmead is much younger, with a typical age of 32 and a higher share of people in de facto relationships (22.5% compared to 10.9%). Bushmead is also more affluent and highly qualified, with 29.3% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and a typical weekly personal income of $1,433, which is far higher than the $856 typical in Maida Vale.

Both areas have a similar proportion of First Nations residents and roughly the same number of people living alone. This shared social makeup exists alongside a stark contrast in how people get around. Maida Vale is somewhat walkable, with 71.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Bushmead is mostly car-dependent and only 11% of homes are near shops. This gap in accessibility is mirrored in the housing market, where Maida Vale has far more homes owned outright (37.8% against 13.0%).
