Mirrabooka Nollamara

Nollamara and Mirrabooka (WA) are neighbouring areas in Perth with very different social profiles. Nollamara is more transient and professional, with a typical weekly income of $839 and 28.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. It is dominated by townhouses and rentals, and nearly half of its residents (49.4%) moved there in the last five years. In contrast, Mirrabooka (WA) is more residential and family-oriented, where 85.5% of homes are separate houses and 21.1% of the population are children under 15. It has a much lower typical weekly income of $482 and a larger share of people who speak a language other than English at home (59.2%).

Everyday life in both places is defined by excellent access to basics, as almost every home is within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park. They also share similar levels of school advantage and a nearly identical share of one-parent families. While Nollamara has more people working or looking for work, both areas sit well above the national figure for people born overseas.
