Dalkeith Nedlands

Dalkeith is far wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $4,672 compared to $2,832 in Nedlands. This gap is reflected in the homes; Dalkeith has a far higher share of separate houses (96.3% versus 75.2%) and larger properties, with 93.7% of homes having three or more bedrooms. Nedlands is more accessible for renters, with a far higher share of households renting their homes (26.1% compared to 16.0%) and a much higher proportion of residents living within a 15 minute walk of health services (76.5% versus 0.5%).
