Kent Lake Grace

Lake Grace and Kent are two sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Lake Grace is larger and has more public transport options, with 41.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a stop, while Kent has none. The two areas differ sharply in the age of their First Nations residents: the typical person in Lake Grace is 21, whereas in Kent they are far older at 52. Costs of living also vary, with typical monthly mortgage payments far higher in Lake Grace at $1,000 compared to $230 in Kent.

Since 2011, the gaps in housing costs and age profiles have shifted, with rents and mortgage payments pulling further apart. Despite this, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share almost identical typical weekly household incomes, around $1,700 to $1,800, and both have roughly 45% of homes owned outright. Both areas also have very few people who speak little or no English, sitting well below the national figure.
