Kent Kulin

Kulin and Kent are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Kulin is noticeably older, with 19.5% of people aged 65 and over compared to 9.6% in Kent. There are also more people in Kulin who own their homes outright (54.4% against 44.3% in Kent). In terms of infrastructure, Kulin has more public transport stops and a larger typical school size of 115 students, while Kent's typical school has just 26.

The gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, as Kulin has seen a larger increase in people owning their homes outright. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways. They share nearly identical typical weekly household incomes (around $1,800), and about the same share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. In both places, almost every home is a separate detached house, and the proportion of people in de facto relationships is almost the same.
