Leda Parmelia

Parmelia and Leda are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different layouts. Parmelia is more connected and walkable, with 76.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and far more public transport stops. It also has a higher number of people living alone (29.5%) and a larger First Nations population. In contrast, Leda is more family-oriented, with children under 15 making up 25.3% of the population, and 90.0% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who care for children unpaid. They are also very similar in their share of adults with bachelor degrees, the proportion of one-parent families, and the typical time it takes to travel to the city. While Parmelia has a higher number of people aged 65 and over, Leda's population is among the lowest for typical age at 32 years.
