Caversham Dayton

Caversham and Dayton are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Dayton is far more diverse and transient, with 49.3% of people born overseas and 58.4% having moved there in the last five years. In contrast, Caversham has a more established feel, with more homes owned outright (17.4% compared to 4.8% in Dayton) and a higher share of people who use only English at home.
