Canning Kwinana

Canning and Kwinana are two nearby areas in Greater Perth with very different profiles. Canning is a diverse and very walkable hub where 50.9% of people were born overseas and 42.8% use another language at home. It is also more highly qualified, with 34.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Kwinana is more car-dependent and has a higher share of detached houses, at 93.0%. It also has a larger First Nations population, making up 4.4% of its residents, and a higher proportion of children under 15 at 22.7%.

Both areas share very similar typical household incomes, which sit around $1,700 to $1,800 a week. This financial common ground exists while other gaps shift; for example, the difference in school completion has narrowed since 2011, though the gap in university qualifications has widened. While Kwinana has seen much faster population growth recently, Canning continues to have far more people who own their homes outright.
