High Wycombe Perth Airport

High Wycombe and Perth Airport are neighbouring areas, but they serve very different roles. High Wycombe is a large residential community where 19.1% of people are children and 16.1% are aged 65 and over. In contrast, Perth Airport is sparsely populated with only 25 residents, and its population is far more diverse, with 80% of people born overseas compared to 24% in High Wycombe. High Wycombe also has a much larger share of people who report having no religion (49.7%) and a higher proportion of residents earning $2,000 or more a week (11.6%).

These two areas have tracked very differently since 2011, as Perth Airport remains largely non-residential while High Wycombe maintains its role as a residential hub. They do share a similar commute to the city, with both taking around 20 minutes to reach. While High Wycombe is very walkable, Perth Airport is mostly car-dependent, though both areas have a similar share of people who speak little or no English.
