Shares are the count of Perth residents aged 65 and over divided by the suburb's total population, from the ABS 2021 Census age tables — the same figures behind each suburb page's age profile. Percentile ranks are computed within Perth's pool, so the list reflects concentration relative to other metro suburbs. This is descriptive demographic information, not a recommendation.

How we ranked these

100% share of residents in the relevant age band in the 2021 Census (the band's count divided by the suburb's total population), percentile-ranked within Perth's candidate pool. Only suburbs with at least 2,000 residents qualify, and the larger absolute cohort breaks ties. Descriptive ABS Census data, not a recommendation. See how we calculate for the full methodology.

Common questions about this ranking

What are the perth suburbs where seniors live?

Menora has the highest share, at 41.4% of residents. Murdoch and Rossmoyne follow. These 15 suburbs came from a field of 242 eligible Perth suburbs.

How is this ranking put together?

Each Perth suburb is ranked by the share of its residents aged 65 and over in the 2021 Census — that age group's count divided by the suburb's total population. Only suburbs with at least 2,000 residents are included, and percentile ranks are computed within Perth's pool, so the list reflects concentration relative to other metro suburbs.

Where does the data come from?

The Australian Bureau of Statistics 2021 Census age tables — the same figures behind the age profile shown on each suburb page. Nothing is estimated or inferred about any individual.

Why would someone use this list?

People often want to settle where retirees and older residents are well represented — for the amenities, services, and social fabric that tend to follow. This is a factual demographic snapshot to help with that, not a judgement about any suburb.

How current is it?

The figures are from the 2021 Census, the most recent available until results from the August 2026 Census are released in 2027. The top 15 is recomputed whenever we refresh the census data.
