Calista Orelia

Orelia and Calista are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Orelia is the younger of the two, with a typical resident aged 38 and a higher share of children under 15 (19%). In contrast, residents are far older in Calista, where the typical age is 48 and 31.7% of people are seniors. This age gap is reflected in health and housing; Calista has a much higher share of people with long-term health conditions (45.7%) and those living alone (42.9%). Orelia has more detached houses (81.8%) and a higher share of adults working or looking for work (58.5%).

While they differ in age and health, the two areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in other ways. They share very similar rates of home ownership and rent, and both have nearly identical typical weekly rents of $250. They are also alike in their levels of university qualifications and the share of residents who have served in the Defence Force.
