Madora Bay Parklands

Madora Bay and Parklands (WA) are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Madora Bay is a younger area, with a typical resident aged 36 and a higher share of children under 15 (22.2%). It is much more accessible, described as somewhat walkable with 76.8% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Parklands (WA) is car-dependent and has a much older population, where the typical resident is 45 and 19.4% are aged 65 or over. Home ownership also differs, with homes owned outright far more common in Parklands (WA) at 40.7% compared to 24.4% in Madora Bay.

While these areas have tracked differently over time, they share many common traits. Both have similar typical weekly household incomes, sitting around $2,200 to $2,300, and nearly identical shares of people born overseas. They also have almost the same number of people per home and similar levels of education advantage for students. This consistency in daily life and income exists alongside the growing gap in accessibility and population age.
