Esperance Surrounds Kalgoorlie - North

Kalgoorlie - North and Esperance Surrounds are two distinct Western Australian areas with very different lifestyles. Kalgoorlie - North is a more urbanised, somewhat walkable place where 37.1% of households earn $3,000 or more a week and 37.7% of people rent. In contrast, Esperance Surrounds is a car-dependent area where residents are far older—the typical person is 41 compared to 33 in Kalgoorlie - North—and 39.8% of homes are owned outright.

Both areas are very similar in their unemployment rates and overall advantage scores, which sit near the national figure. While they share these basics, the gap in housing and income has widened since 2016. This is seen in the renting share and the number of high-income earners, both of which are far higher in Kalgoorlie - North.
