Iluka Ocean Reef

Ocean Reef and Iluka (WA) are neighbouring suburbs in Greater Perth with distinct profiles. Iluka (WA) is generally wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $3,144 compared to $2,480 in Ocean Reef, and a much higher share of homes where residents earn $3,000 or more a week (47.0% versus 36.4%). Accessibility differs sharply; while 96.7% of Iluka (WA) homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, only 49.6% of Ocean Reef homes are. Conversely, Ocean Reef is far better served for health services, with 98.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk compared to 44.9% in Iluka (WA).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over, though this group is more common in Ocean Reef. They are also very similar in their share of people born overseas, which is far above the national average in both places. These two neighbours track closely in other ways, such as having almost identical proportions of people who speak little or no English and very similar household sizes.
