Mundaring Esperance

Esperance and Mundaring are far apart in Western Australia and offer different lifestyles. Mundaring has a much larger population of people born overseas (24.3% compared to 13.7%) and a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (18.5% versus 11.8%). The areas differ sharply in their environments, with Mundaring receiving far more annual rainfall (784mm versus 289mm) and providing more frequent public transport departures. In contrast, Esperance has a much higher rate of renting at 28.1% and a higher share of volunteers at 24.5%.

The gap in typical weekly rents has narrowed since 2016, though Mundaring remains more expensive at $330 compared to $260 in Esperance. Despite this, the two areas share several similarities, such as a nearly identical share of people aged 65 and over (around 19%) and typical weekly personal incomes that are almost the same ($806 to $817). Both areas also have very similar proportions of people who speak a First Nations language and a similar number of people per bedroom in their homes.
