Curtin Tangney

Tangney and Curtin are two nearby areas in Greater Perth with distinct housing and social profiles. Tangney is far more likely to have separate houses (83.6% compared to 58.4%) and larger homes, with 88.7% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms. It also has a more linguistically diverse population, as 30.0% of residents use a language other than English at home, compared to 16.6% in Curtin. Conversely, Curtin has a higher proportion of university graduates (47.9% versus 36.4%) and higher typical weekly personal incomes ($1,115 compared to $844).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people with no religion. They also share very similar totals for school enrolments and a nearly identical percentage of residents aged 65 and over. While some gaps have widened since 2011, such as the difference in housing types, others have narrowed; the gap in the share of people born overseas has shrunk from 24.6% to 9.0% over that period.
