Siesta Park Vasse

Vasse and Siesta Park are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Vasse is a larger area with a much younger feel, where 24.9% of people are children under 15 and the typical resident is 39. This helps explain why 35.7% of adults there are unpaid carers for children and why homes are often larger, with 96.4% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Siesta Park is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 58 and 26.7% of people aged 65 and over. Residents in Siesta Park are also more likely to hold a bachelor's degree (28.3%) and volunteer (41.5%).

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in terms of their overall economic standing, with typical weekly personal incomes remaining close ($778 in Vasse and $725 in Siesta Park). Both areas are mostly car-dependent and have similar rates of adults working or looking for work. However, their housing styles differ, as Vasse has far more separate houses and Siesta Park has a higher share of renters.
