Demand 6/10: a modest value-market suburb in the City of Swan immediately south-east of Midland (2,283 residents; the most multicultural of its belt — Filipino 16.1% ancestry, only 55.1% Australian-born) mixing light industry with affordable housing, walking distance to Midland Gate and Midland station and on the doorstep of the new Midland health-and-education precinct.
