Herdsman Wembley

Wembley and Herdsman are neighbouring areas in Perth, but they serve very different purposes. Wembley is a residential hub of over 12,000 people that is very walkable, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 97% near a school. In contrast, Herdsman is largely non-residential with a population of zero and is mostly car-dependent. This is reflected in the transit times to the city, which are far higher in Herdsman at 65 minutes compared to just 32 minutes in Wembley.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining distinct in their layout and use. While Wembley has far more public transport stops and a much higher number of people reachable by transit, both areas share a very similar average school advantage score. The typical personal income is also relatively close, though it is a little higher in Wembley at $1,054 per week compared to $900 in Herdsman.
