Suburb profile

West Perth is a central city district of Perth, where heritage streetscapes sit alongside dense residential and commercial development. Notable landmarks include Harold Boas Gardens, Nurses Memorial Centre and Edith Dircksey Cowan Memorial.

Convenience is one of the suburb's strongest attributes. Local school ICSEA scores are among the highest in the peer group, placing it among the highest-ranked metropolitan suburbs. University qualifications are among the highest in the peer group, with university qualifications 100% above the peer median, and the suburb has an unusually high concentration of heritage listings. Crime in the wider Perth Police District remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 30% year on year. Median rents are a relative weakness.

West Perth is a better fit for people who value city life and school quality more than lower rents.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.

Methodology

Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.

The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~9,150), extrapolated at +3.4% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Federal electorate from AEC federal division boundaries (2025 redistribution). Division-level results are official AEC figures from the latest general election, with by-election updates where applicable. The estimated suburb profile blends up to eight nearest ordinary polling booths in the same electorate using inverse-distance weighting from the suburb centroid — an approximation, not official AEC data. Nearest polling places are shown for reference.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)
10/10
IRSD decile (2021)
8/10

ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), 2021 release — the latest available, derived from the 2021 Census. Deciles rank suburbs nationally from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).

What do IRSAD and IRSD measure?

IRSAD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage. Combines indicators of advantage (e.g. high income, skilled occupations) and disadvantage. Higher decile = more advantaged relative to other Australian areas.

IRSD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage. Focuses on disadvantage only (e.g. low income, unemployment, limited education). Higher decile = less disadvantage nationally.

A new SEIFA edition typically follows each census; the ABS has not announced a release date beyond 2021.
