People in a de facto relationship

15.1% of people in Perth are in a de facto relationship — well above average, much higher than the typical federal electorate (12.0%). It ranks 14th of 151 federal electorates nationally.

That's high even for its surrounds: higher than nearby Brand, Fremantle and Pearce.

The rate has climbed 5.5 points since 2011 (9.6% → 15.1%), outpacing the national rise of 2.0 points.
