Landsdale, WA
By Lauren McCaleb · Reviewed by Dylan Duncan ·
Landsdale is an outer northern suburb of Perth, in the City of Wanneroo, Western Australia. For most of its history it was a district of market gardens and small rural holdings on the city's fringe, and it kept that semi-rural character well into the 1990s. From the late 1990s the market gardens gave way to housing estates, and Landsdale grew quickly into a mixed suburb of homes, shops and light industry. Its everyday hub is the Landsdale Gardens precinct, with the Landsdale Forum shopping centre, parks, lakes and walking trails close by, while the Perth International Telecommunications Centre occupies the suburb's eastern end. Several primary schools serve the area's young families.

A socio-economic measure from ABS Census data — not a measure of how good a suburb is to live in or visit. How we calculate this.
Is Landsdale a good place to live?
There’s no single answer — it depends on what matters to you. So instead of one mystery number, we break it down: a transparent score on each part of life we can back with public data, and an honest “not yet” on the parts we can’t.
Around the national middle
A weighted blend of the 2 components we can score for Landsdale from public data. It sits alongside — and reconciles with — the socio-economic Suburb Score above; it is a transparent read, not a complete verdict.

We’d rather leave these open than publish a number we can’t stand behind. Here’s where each one stands.
- Amenities & accessNot scored yet — our OpenStreetMap amenity mapping is still rolling out across suburbs.
- Green spaceNot scored yet — our OpenStreetMap green-space mapping is still rolling out across suburbs.
- TransportNot scored yet — our OpenStreetMap public-transport mapping is still rolling out across suburbs.
- SchoolsNot scored yet — school performance (ACARA / ICSEA) needs a data-reuse licence cleared before we can publish it.
- SafetyNot scored yet — Australia has no single open crime dataset and safety data carries defamation and legal care, so it is gated pending a go/no-go and will be data-only when added.
- CommunityNot scored yet — we won't reduce community to a number from a proxy. We'd rather leave it open than publish an invented value judgement.
A transparent read on public data, not a verdict — and not a measure of any person or community. See our methodology for how each component is worked out and why some aren’t scored yet.

Common questions about Landsdale
Is Landsdale a good place to live?
Landsdale scores 82/100 (SEIFA 1,048, top 18% nationally) — a strong number for an outer northern suburb — with a median household income of $2,439 a week that’s among the highest in this cohort, reflecting a suburb that filled in with professional and trades families who chose it deliberately. Median age of 33 and the family-suburb profile are the setting; the SEIFA and income data together say this is a well-functioning established outer suburb in the Wanneroo LGA that has held its socio-economic standing as the suburbs north of it have boomed. The honest caveat is that Landsdale doesn’t have a train station — it is a freeway-exit, two-car suburb — which is the one thing a verdict needs to name plainly.
