Gingin Stirling

Gingin and Stirling are two very different Western Australian areas. Stirling is a populous hub where 33.7% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 10.1% in Gingin. Residents in Stirling are far more likely to rent (33.0%) and live in flats or townhouses, while 94.4% of Gingin homes are separate houses and 42.9% are owned outright. The typical person in Gingin is far older at 50, while the usual age in Stirling is 38. This age gap has widened since 2011.

Both areas share some common ground, as they have the same typical number of people per home and similar levels of access to money and resources. However, they differ sharply in how people get around. Stirling is very walkable with high access to public transport, while Gingin is car-dependent and has far fewer transport stops. The gap in education and income has also grown over time, with Stirling seeing a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week.
