Katanning Kent

Katanning and Kent are two distinct Western Australian areas located about 77 km apart. Katanning is more diverse, with 21.3% of people born overseas and 19.4% using another language at home, compared to 10.4% and 4.5% in Kent. Kent has a much higher share of people with no religion (51.9% compared to 35.3% in Katanning) and more residents who have completed Year 12. There are also sharp differences in housing and income; typical monthly mortgage payments are far higher in Katanning at $1,055, while Kent has a far higher share of homes owned outright at 44.3%.

Gap in the share of people working from home has narrowed since 2011, though it remains far higher in Kent at 20.9%. Both areas are very similar in other ways, including a typical resident age of 39 and nearly identical household sizes. This shared demographic profile sits alongside a stark contrast in daily life; Katanning has more public transport and larger schools, while Kent is more sparsely populated and heavily focused on agriculture.
