Armadale Kalamunda

Armadale and Kalamunda are nearby areas in Greater Perth with distinct social profiles. Armadale is a younger and more culturally diverse area, where 36.1% of people were born overseas and 23.6% use a language other than English at home. This is contrasted by Kalamunda, where residents are noticeably older, with 18.9% aged 65 and over compared to 12.0% in Armadale. Home ownership also differs sharply, with 35.2% of Kalamunda homes owned outright, which is far higher than the 21.6% seen in Armadale.

The gap in language diversity has widened since 2011, as Armadale's share of people using another language at home has grown much further ahead of Kalamunda's. Despite this, the two areas share several similarities, including very similar typical weekly personal incomes of around $815 to $835. They also have nearly identical rates of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, both sitting just under 20%.
