Kwinana Serpentine-Jarrahdale

Kwinana and Serpentine-Jarrahdale are two neighbouring areas in Western Australia with distinct characters. Kwinana is more urban and diverse, with 21.4% of people using a language other than English at home compared to 10.8% in Serpentine-Jarrahdale. It is also more walkable; for example, 35.1% of Kwinana homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while only 13.5% are in Serpentine-Jarrahdale. Conversely, Serpentine-Jarrahdale has a higher typical income for First Nations residents ($902 compared to $540 in Kwinana) and a far higher share of Year 12 completions among First Nations people (42.1% versus 27.0%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in overseas births and the use of other languages at home have both widened, as has the difference in rental rates, which are far higher in Kwinana. Despite these trends, they share many basic traits: the typical resident in both areas is 33 years old, and they have nearly identical rates of full-time employment and long-term health conditions.
