What the public data says about Daglish: who lives here, what the offence rates are, and where the figures sit against the rest of the state.
Suburb summary
Daglish is small, tightly held and unusually well educated. There are only 1,551 residents across 605 dwellings, and 53.3% of residents hold a bachelor degree or higher compared with 23.9% across Western Australia. Another 68.5% hold some form of post-school qualification. Separate houses make up 59.7% of the suburb, with apartments at 21.2% and townhouses at 19.3%.
The income figures are strong, but not because more people are working full-time. Full-time employment is 52.6%, below the middle WA suburb of 56.2%, while median weekly family income is $3,109 compared with $2,112. Unemployment sits almost exactly on the middle at 4.6%. With a median age of 39 and average household size of 2.4, there is no obvious student effect here. The more useful takeaway is simply that Daglish households are earning considerably more without relying on a higher proportion of full-time workers. It is also worth remembering how small the suburb is. A few percentage points can represent very few households.
Crime is low across every measure. Overall crime probability is 3.3 offences per 100 residents against a middle suburb of 7.1. Burglary, property damage, assault and social stability all sit comfortably below their respective middle suburb figures. Motor vehicle theft recorded 0.00 in 2025, which means none were recorded that year, not that it cannot happen.
The challenge with Daglish is finding something to buy. There are only 605 dwellings in the entire suburb and 63.6% are owner occupied. If you specifically want a separate house, you are narrowing an already tiny pool even further. Knome would also keep the three dwelling types firmly separated when valuing property here. A townhouse or apartment is a different market from a detached house, and proximity alone does not make it a useful comparable.

Rated figures show where this suburb sits among Western Australian suburbs. Strong is the better half of the state and the far end is the outermost quarter, so the word means the same on every row. The scale always runs low to high, so green is on the right where more is better and on the left where less is.

Against an address, not a suburb
Four more checks only mean anything against a real address, because the answer changes between two streets and sometimes between two sides of one. They are what the free Red Flag Report runs, on screen, in seconds, without asking for anything.
Whether the property sits in a bushfire prone area on the state's mapping.
Whether the floodplain mapping reaches the block, which the suburb name never tells you.
Distance and exposure to the roads that carry the traffic, street by street.
Where the property sits under the Perth Airport flight paths and noise contours.
