Coolgardie Kondinin

Coolgardie and Kondinin are two distinct Western Australian towns with very different economic bases. Coolgardie is a mining hub where the typical resident is 38, while Kondinin is focused on agriculture and has a far older population, with a typical age of 46. This difference extends to employment and volunteering; 66.7% of adults in Kondinin are working or looking for work compared to 51.9% in Coolgardie, and 38.3% of Kondinin residents volunteer against just 11.2% in Coolgardie. Access to resources and education is also much higher in Kondinin, where 41.4% of people finished Year 12 compared to 28.0% in Coolgardie.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as the typical home size and the fact that very few people speak little or no English. However, the gap in home ownership has narrowed slightly since 2011, with 45.8% of Kondinin homes owned outright compared to 27.9% in Coolgardie. While both areas sit well below the national figure for Year 12 completion, the gap between them has widened over the last decade.
