Perth is a cosmopolitan society where people live harmoniously and interaction among different races are commonly seen. The pattern of Perth istems from the inherent cultural diversity of the island.
The arts in Perth tend towards the conservative, except at Perth International Arts Festival time, when the avant-garde is embraced. Nevertheless, the overall scene is healthy, with an excellent symphony orchestra, ballet company, opera company and several professional theatre troupes. There is no shortage of talent in town - the West Australian Academy of the Performing Arts (WAAPA), renowned for turning out stars of stage and screen, attracts students from all over the country.
The Western Suburbs between Perth and the Indian Ocean, contain the highest income suburbs notably the locations of homes of the wealthiest individuals becoming landmarks and tourist attractions.The Eastern Suburbs around the airport are less desirable suburbs, many light industry and main roads co-exist with the residential areas. Crime rates are higher in the “Eastern Suburbs” than the “Western Suburbs”.
Perth also has substantial immigrant communities from South East Asia such as Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, China, India and Sri Lanka (Many of whom emigrate from their home countries for educational purposes). The Indian community includes a substantial number of Parsees who emigrated from Mumbai. Another source of immigration has been Southern Africa, with many white South Africans and Zimbabweans settling in the city.
