Midland Suburb Profile

Midland is a long-established, working-class hub east of Perth with a distinctly rough-around-the-edges reputation. People say drug use and antisocial behaviour near the station and Centrepoint mall are hard to ignore, but locals also describe genuine renewal underway, with government investment, a brand new train station, and heritage buildings drawing those after affordable, quirky living. The St John of God hospital is a well-regarded anchor.

Median property values reach $720k and rent of $610/week, 29% below the Perth metro median. Commuters face a 32-minute drive to the CBD (52 min on public transport), where most residents drive (66%). The 5/100 safety score falls 47 points short of the metro average of 52. Families have access to 3 schools with a rating of 23/100, below the Perth average. Demographically, the median age sits at 39 and household income at $1,138/week.
