Success Wattleup

Success and Wattleup are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Success is a larger, younger hub where the typical resident is 34 and 22.2% of people are children under 15. It is a diverse community with 40.4% of residents born overseas and a highly qualified workforce, where 28.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Wattleup is sparsely populated and much older; the typical resident is 50, and people aged 65 and over make up 23.9% of the population. Wattleup is almost entirely made up of detached houses, and residents are far more likely to own their homes outright, at 46.9% compared to 16.0% in Success.

Both areas share a similar rental market, with around 29% of households renting and typical weekly rents sitting near $400 and $375. This similarity exists alongside a stark divide in daily life; Success is somewhat walkable with many residents living within a short stroll of schools and shops, while Wattleup is car-dependent. The gap in accessibility is wide, as only 0.6% of Wattleup homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, compared to 86.9% in Success.
