ABS 2021 Census of Population and Housing, tenure of occupied private dwellings, Scarborough (SAL). These are all homes in the suburb, not Doorstep members.
1,802 households in Scarborough have paid the place off. Owning outright usually means years on the same street: the neighbours who know which trees drop branches in a storm, when the council clean-up comes round, and who to ask before you knock down a wall.
Couples, parents, kids and grandparents: in Scarborough, 58 in every 100 households are families. School runs and hand-me-downs for some, grandkids visiting for others, and the most useful neighbour is often the one who's been through it a year ahead of you.
58 in every 100 homes in Scarborough are owner-occupied, below 69 across Western Australia, so the owners on your street are harder to pick out. Doorstep is made for exactly them.
