Calista Cooloongup

Cooloongup and Calista are neighbouring areas with very different housing and health profiles. Cooloongup is dominated by separate houses, with 91.5% being detached and 92.2% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Calista has more townhouses and a higher proportion of people living alone (42.9%). Calista also has a much older population, with 31.7% aged 65 and over, compared to 20.7% in Cooloongup. This age gap is reflected in health needs, as Calista has a higher share of people with long-term health conditions (45.7%) and those needing help with daily activities (15.7%).

Everyday life is similar in both places, with nearly identical shares of people using another language at home and people working full-time. They also share similar monthly home-loan payments of around $1,300. However, Calista is much more walkable, with 80.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, while only 37.0% of Cooloongup residents have the same access. This gap in convenience is consistent with Calista's higher street connectivity.
