Claremont Nedlands

Nedlands and Claremont (WA) are neighbouring areas with distinct housing and income profiles. Nedlands has a much higher share of separate houses (75.2% compared to 39.0%) and larger homes, with 80.6% having three or more bedrooms. It is also the wealthier of the two, where 44.7% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 33.8% in Claremont (WA). In contrast, Claremont (WA) has far more people living alone (35.3% versus 20.5%) and a much higher number of schools per 1,000 children.

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly personal income of around $1,120 and nearly identical shares of people with no religion. This similarity exists alongside a widening gap in housing styles, as Nedlands has become far more dominated by detached houses while Claremont (WA) has a much higher proportion of flats and apartments.
