Calista Naval Base

Calista and Naval Base are neighbouring areas in Western Australia, but they differ greatly in scale and layout. Calista is a residential area where 14.9% of people are children, and it is described as somewhat walkable with many homes within walking distance of parks, schools, and health services. Naval Base is sparsely populated, with no children under 15 and a car-dependent layout. There are also sharp contrasts in wealth and health; 15.0% of Naval Base residents earn $2,000 or more a week, which is far higher than the 4.8% in Calista, while Calista has a much higher share of people needing help with daily activities at 15.7%.

The two areas share a very similar typical weekly household income, which sits around $900 to $950. They also have a similar drive time to the city, taking about 27 to 29 minutes. While both areas have populations that are older than the national figure, the gap between them is shifting, with residents far older in Naval Base.
