Kingsley Padbury

Kingsley and Padbury are neighbouring suburbs in Perth's north, but they offer different living patterns. Kingsley is an older area, where the typical resident is 44 and 23.4% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Padbury is noticeably younger, with a typical age of 38. Padbury also has a far higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (83.2% compared to 46.0% in Kingsley) and health services (86.6% compared to 48.8% in Kingsley). While Kingsley has far more public transport stops (83 versus 51), Padbury has a higher share of separate houses at 92.3%.

Typical weekly household incomes are almost identical in both places, sitting around $2,000. This similarity extends to other areas of life, as both suburbs have about the same share of overseas-born residents and adults with university degrees. While they share these core traits, some gaps are shifting; for example, the share of people who have moved house in the last five years is now well higher in Padbury than in Kingsley.
