Gosnells Kalamunda

Gosnells and Kalamunda are nearby areas in Western Australia with very different social profiles. Gosnells is far more multicultural, with 43.7% of people born overseas and 35.6% using a language other than English at home. It is also more accessible, with 81% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and 95.8% within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Kalamunda is more affluent and less diverse; it has a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (23.2%) and a much larger proportion of residents who report having no religion (44.6%).

Both areas are very similar in other ways, with nearly identical rates of full-time employment, people living alone, and adults holding a bachelor degree. While Gosnells has a younger population and more school enrolments, the age gap has narrowed slightly since 2011. This common ground exists alongside widening differences in income and cultural diversity, as the gap in overseas-born residents has grown since 2011.
