Joondalup Cocos (Keeling) Islands

Cocos (Keeling) Islands is a sparsely populated area, while Joondalup is a large urban centre. These two places differ sharply in their social and educational profiles. Joondalup has a much higher share of people born overseas (37.0% compared to 8.6%) and far more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (27.0% versus 9.4%). In contrast, Cocos (Keeling) Islands is far more linguistically diverse, with 64.2% of people using another language at home compared to 10.8% in Joondalup. Housing also differs greatly, as 67.2% of households in Cocos (Keeling) Islands are rented, while Joondalup has a far higher share of homes owned outright (36.2%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have shifted in various ways. The difference in university qualifications and home ownership has widened, but the gap in the use of languages other than English has narrowed. Despite these trends, some things remain alike; both areas have a similar proportion of people aged 65 and over (around 17%) and a nearly identical share of volunteers. This is a stark contrast in infrastructure, however, as Joondalup is very walkable with widespread public transport, while Cocos (Keeling) Islands is mostly car-dependent.
