Butler (North Metropolitan) Kingsley (North Metropolitan)

Butler (North Metropolitan) and Kingsley (North Metropolitan) are two different types of suburbs in Perth. Butler is a young, fast-growing area where the typical resident is 34 and 45.5% of people have moved in during the last five years. In contrast, Kingsley is much older with a typical age of 42. There are also significant gaps in housing and education; Kingsley has a far higher share of homes owned outright (39.7% compared to 14.2% in Butler) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (25.6% compared to 14.2%).

Both areas are similar in that the typical weekly personal income is close to the national figure. This common ground sits alongside other similarities, such as having nearly identical shares of people who speak little or no English.

While 77% of Kingsley homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, the figure is much lower in Butler at 44.5%.
