Maylands Mount Lawley

Maylands (WA) and Mount Lawley are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with different housing and economic profiles. Mount Lawley is wealthier, with 33.7% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 20.8% in Maylands (WA). This wealth is reflected in the homes, as Mount Lawley has far more separate houses (52.6% versus 31.0%) and a far higher share of homes owned outright (29.5% versus 18.2%). Maylands (WA) has a higher proportion of renters at 49.2%, which is far higher than the 36.6% seen in Mount Lawley.

These two areas have stayed very similar in their basic demographics, with almost identical shares of children under 15 and people needing daily help. However, the gap in accessibility is wide, as Mount Lawley is far more walkable, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. This stands in contrast to Maylands (WA), where only 62.4% of homes have that same access. While both areas are well-connected, Mount Lawley continues to provide far more public transport departures per person.
