Kewdale Perth Airport

Kewdale and Perth Airport are neighbouring areas in Western Australia, but they serve very different purposes. Kewdale is a residential hub with 7,397 people, where 18.9% are children and 37.9% of residents use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Perth Airport is sparsely populated with just 25 residents, and while it is far more diverse in birthplaces — with 80.0% born overseas compared to 45.2% in Kewdale — it has no children or people using another language at home.

Both areas have tracked differently since 2011, as Kewdale has grown into a busy residential community while Perth Airport remains largely non-residential. The two places share similar transit times to the city, taking around 51 to 53 minutes. However, Kewdale is much more walkable, with 96.0% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, whereas Perth Airport is mostly car-dependent and sees a much higher number of public transport departures relative to its tiny population.
