Carlisle Suburb Profile

Carlisle is an established, affordable suburb sitting just south of Victoria Park and within easy reach of the CBD via train. Locals describe it as a suburb of contrasts: decent value for money and handy access to Vic Park's dining strip, but residents note persistent crime and antisocial behaviour as ongoing frustrations. People say it has a gritty edge, with pockets of improvement including a growing creative scene around Oats Street, though safety concerns remain a common talking point.

The commute to Perth CBD is a short 15-minute drive by car or 32 minutes by transit, and most residents drive (64%). Crime rates are higher than average, and the safety score of 24/100 falls 28 points below the metro mean of 52. The population has a median age of 36 and earns $1,766/week per household.
