Fremantle O'Connor

Fremantle and O'Connor (WA) are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Fremantle is a walker's paradise, where 100% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school and the typical resident is 41. O'Connor (WA) is more residential, with detached houses being far more common at 67.1% compared to 39.9% in Fremantle, and a typical age of 38. There is also a notable gap in income; for example, typical weekly household income for First Nations residents is $1,375 in Fremantle, while it is far lower in O'Connor (WA) at $549.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, such as almost identical unemployment rates and a similar number of people per home. Both areas also have a similar proportion of First Nations residents and a nearly identical typical age for that group. While Fremantle has more people with degrees and a higher share of high-earners, both areas are much more likely to have residents with no religion than the national figure.
