Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 5.9 km apart · North Coogee profile · East Fremantle profile

North Coogee East Fremantle

East Fremantle and North Coogee are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different characters. East Fremantle is highly walkable, with almost all homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and health services, and a high share of residents with bachelor degrees (43.3%). In contrast, North Coogee has seen much faster growth, with a population increase of 28.7% since 2021 and a far higher share of people born overseas (34.8%).

Both areas are almost identical in the size of their First Nations populations, which each make up 0.9% of the residents. They also share a similar typical weekly family income of around $3,200. While they have much in common, some gaps are widening; the difference in the number of people born overseas has grown since 2011, as has the gap in university qualifications.
