Fremantle Kwinana

Kwinana and Fremantle are nearby areas in Western Australia with very different housing and social profiles. Kwinana is a younger area where the typical resident is 33 and homes are overwhelmingly detached houses, with 93.0% being separate dwellings. In contrast, Fremantle is far older, with a typical age of 42 and a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (19.9%). Fremantle also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 39.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 17.0% in Kwinana.

Both areas are very similar in the proportion of people who need help with daily activities, each sitting near the national figure at around 5%. They also share similar rates of overseas arrivals and people who speak a First Nations language. Over time, some gaps have widened; the difference in typical incomes, the share of homes owned outright, and the number of people with university degrees have all grown since 2011.
