Gelorup Usher

Gelorup and Usher are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in wealth and housing. Gelorup has a far higher typical weekly household income of $2,330 compared to $1,385 in Usher. This is consistent with a more qualified workforce, with 20.7% of adults in Gelorup holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 7.8% in Usher. Gelorup also has far more homes owned outright (46.7% versus 22.2%) and a much higher share of large homes with three or more bedrooms (97.6% versus 86.8%).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people who speak little or no English. Despite this, they differ in how people get around; Usher is mostly car-dependent and has far more public transport stops and nearby schools and health services.
