Carey Park Gelorup

Carey Park and Gelorup are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Gelorup is a wealthier area, where the typical household income is $2,330 a week compared to $1,018 in Carey Park. This gap is reflected in education and housing; Gelorup has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree (20.7% versus 8.3% in Carey Park) and more homes owned outright. In contrast, Carey Park has a much higher proportion of renters (45.3% versus 5.3%) and more people living alone. It also has a higher rate of long-term health conditions, at 37.8%, which is 10 points higher than in Gelorup.

Daily life shares some common ground, as both areas have a similar share of children under 15 and almost the same proportion of people who served in the Defence Force. These similarities exist alongside a sharp divide in accessibility. Carey Park is designed for walking and public transport, with nearly every home within a 10-minute walk of a stop. Gelorup is far more car-dependent, with very few homes near public transport and a typical walk to the nearest stop taking 73 minutes.
