Chittering Wanneroo

Wanneroo and Chittering are two very different Western Australian areas. Wanneroo is a larger, more diverse hub where the typical resident is 35 and 40.8% were born overseas. It is much more walkable, with a score of 4.9 (somewhat walkable), and more than half of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Chittering is car-dependent, with a score of 0.4, and residents are far older with a typical age of 44. Chittering also has a much higher proportion of people who speak a First Nations language, at 26.7% compared to 8.1% in Wanneroo.

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, including typical weekly household incomes that sit around $1,900 to $2,000 and a similar number of people per home. While they are alike in these ways, other gaps are shifting. The difference in the share of overseas-born residents has widened since 2011, and the gap in Year 12 completion has also grown, with Wanneroo now 15.5 percentage points higher than Chittering.
