Peron Waikiki

Waikiki and Peron are neighbouring areas in Western Australia, but they differ sharply in scale and demographics. Waikiki is a large residential hub with 12,453 people, where the typical weekly household income is $1,611. In contrast, Peron is sparsely populated with just 14 residents, and the typical household income is much lower at $459. This difference in lifestyle is clear in the housing and walkability; Waikiki is somewhat walkable, with 59.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Peron is mostly car-dependent with no homes within that distance of shops.

Both areas are an identical 37-minute drive from the city and share the same access to green space, with 100% of homes in each area within a 15-minute walk of a park. While they are similarly located, their populations vary greatly in age and wealth. Residents are far older in Peron, where the typical age is 60 compared to 39 in Waikiki. This age gap is mirrored in the financial data, as typical weekly personal income is well higher in Waikiki at $740, compared to $466 in Peron.
