Kwinana Mandurah

Mandurah and Kwinana are two different types of hubs in Western Australia. Mandurah is an older area, where the typical resident is 45 and over a quarter of the population are seniors. It is more likely that residents own their homes outright, with 33.6% doing so. In contrast, Kwinana is far younger, with a typical age of 33 and a higher proportion of children. It is also more diverse, with 21.4% of people using a language other than English at home. This younger workforce helps explain why the typical weekly household income is well higher in Kwinana at $1,716, compared to $1,273 in Mandurah.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, from similar weekly rents of around $300 to nearly identical rates of one-parent families. They also both have roughly the same amount of public transport stops and departures per person. However, some gaps have grown since 2011. The age difference has widened as Mandurah has become older, and the gap in typical incomes has increased. Mandurah also offers better walkability, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services.
