About Tuart Hill

Tuart Hill is a compact inner-northern suburb of Perth, located approximately 8 kilometres north of the CBD within the City of Stirling. Home to a population of 7,541, the suburb covers just over 2 square kilometres and features a dense mix of older character homes and newer apartment developments. With a median household income of around $80,000 annually, Tuart Hill sits close to the Perth average, attracting a diverse range of residents including young professionals, established families, and a significant international community.

The suburb's multicultural character is one of its defining features, with strong Indian, Italian, English, and Irish communities among the many backgrounds represented. Tuart Hill is well-connected to Perth's arterial road network and public transport, with easy access to the city and nearby commercial hubs at Osborne Park. The broad age spread—with a strong 25–44 cohort—reflects a suburb in transition, with long-standing residents sharing space with newer arrivals drawn by its central location and relatively affordable housing options.
