Canning Kalamunda

Canning and Kalamunda are nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Canning is a diverse hub where 50.4% of people were born overseas and 41.9% use a language other than English at home. It is also more highly qualified, with 34.1% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 19.7% in Kalamunda. In contrast, Kalamunda is more residential and car-dependent, with a much higher share of detached houses (93.8% compared to 78.3% in Canning) and a typical walk to public transport that takes 19 minutes, far higher than the 4 minutes in Canning.

These two areas are very similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,800 to $1,866. They also share similar proportions of First Nations people and volunteers. However, the gaps between them are often growing. The difference in the share of people born overseas and those using other languages has widened since 2011, while the gap in educational attainment has also increased.
