Chittering Joondalup

Chittering and Joondalup are two very different Western Australian areas, separated by about 71 km. Joondalup is a high-density hub where 37.0% of people were born overseas and 27.0% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. Chittering is much more rural and car-dependent, with a far higher share of separate houses (98.8%) and a much higher proportion of people who speak a First Nations language (26.7%). The two areas also differ sharply in accessibility; Joondalup is very walkable, while Chittering is car-dependent, with only 3.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries.

Educational gaps between the two have widened since 2011, as the difference in Year 12 completion and bachelor degree attainment has grown. Despite this, they share many everyday similarities. Both areas have about the same proportion of children under 15 and people aged 65 and over. Their typical weekly household incomes are also very close, sitting at $2,044 in Chittering and $2,165 in Joondalup.
