Byford Cardup
Byford and Cardup are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different layouts. Byford is a younger and more active hub, where the typical resident is 31 and 40.4% of people moved there in the last five years. It is a somewhat walkable area where 95.6% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park. In contrast, Cardup is car-dependent and has a more established feel; residents are far older with a typical age of 40, and 36.7% of households earn $3,000 or more a week compared to 20.1% in Byford.
Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people born overseas, though Byford is slightly higher at 27.7%. They are also very similar in other ways, such as having roughly the same number of people per home and a similar share of adults with a bachelor degree. While Byford has far more renters and is much closer to shops and schools, the gap in home ownership is notable, with homes owned outright far higher in Cardup.
