Scarborough Trigg

Scarborough (WA) and Trigg are neighbouring coastal areas with very different living patterns. Scarborough (WA) is a denser, highly mobile hub where renting is far more common (39.4%) and the typical resident is younger at 36. A large share of its population lives alone (34.4%) or in de facto relationships (19.8%). In contrast, Trigg is a more established residential area where separate houses are far more common (86.6%) and many are owned outright (45.8%). Residents in Trigg are typically older, with a typical age of 43 and a higher share of seniors (20.8%).

Both areas have tracked differently since 2011, with Scarborough (WA) becoming much more transient, as 52.0% of its people moved in the last five years. This movement is consistent with its higher share of overseas arrivals (16.7%) and its very walkable lifestyle, where 95.7% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. Trigg remains more stable and less walkable, though both areas share similar levels of unemployment and almost identical access to local parks.
