Canning Kalamunda

Canning and Kalamunda are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Canning is a more urban, multicultural hub where 50.9% of people were born overseas and 42.8% use a language other than English at home. It also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 34.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Kalamunda is more residential and traditional, with a much higher share of separate houses (93.8%) and a larger proportion of people who identify as having no religion (44.6%).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of households renting, with Canning at 31.1% and Kalamunda at 16.7%. While they share similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,800, the gap in their demographics has widened since 2011. This is seen in the growing difference in overseas births and the increasing divide in education levels, with Canning's share of university graduates rising further above that of Kalamunda.
