Canning Nedlands

Canning and Nedlands are nearby areas in Greater Perth with very different social and economic profiles. Canning is far more culturally diverse, with 50.9% of people born overseas and 42.8% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Nedlands is much wealthier; its typical weekly household income is $3,226, which is $1,388 higher than the $1,838 typical in Canning. This wealth gap is also seen in education, with 56.2% of adults in Nedlands holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 34.6% in Canning.

Both areas are very similar when it comes to their basic living conditions, such as having the same number of people per home and a nearly identical share of children under 15. They also share a high level of accessibility, with nearly every home in both areas located within a 10-minute walk of public transport. While they share these daily realities, the gap in household incomes has widened since 2011, and Nedlands has become even more likely to have residents aged 65 and over.
