Mundaring Mid West

Mid West and Mundaring are two very different parts of Western Australia. Mid West is a vast region where 9.5% of the population is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, compared to 4.1% in Mundaring. Residents in Mid West are more likely to rent their homes (27.9% versus 13.2% in Mundaring) and a higher share have not completed Year 12 (39% versus 51.3% in Mundaring). Typical weekly household incomes are also lower in Mid West at $1,455, while Mundaring households usually earn $1,838.
