Katanning Kojonup

Katanning and Kojonup are two Western Australian towns with very different social and physical profiles. Katanning is much more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (64.8% compared to 24.0%) and schools (78.4% compared to 37.9%). It is also more linguistically diverse, with 19.4% of people using another language at home, far higher than the 5.3% in Kojonup. In contrast, Kojonup has a more qualified workforce, where 48.1% of residents completed Year 12, compared to 36.8% in Katanning.

These gaps in education and qualifications have widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share a similar typical weekly household income of around $1,400 and a nearly identical share of children under 15. They also have similar rates of people providing unpaid care and a very similar number of schools per child. While Katanning has a larger First Nations population and a higher unemployment rate for that group, both towns sit well above the national figure for people who volunteer.
