Fremantle Kwinana

Kwinana and Fremantle are two distinct areas in Greater Perth. Kwinana is a much younger place, with a typical resident aged 33 and 22.7% of the population being children under 15. It is dominated by separate houses, with 93.0% of homes being detached and 89.3% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Fremantle has a typically older population of 43 and is more walkable, earning a score of 8.1 (a walker's paradise). Fremantle also has a more highly qualified workforce, where 39.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 17.0% in Kwinana.

Since 2011, the gap in typical age has widened to 10 years and the difference in home ownership has grown, with homes now far more likely to be owned outright in Fremantle. Both areas share similar rates of recent overseas arrivals and have nearly identical numbers of public transport stops. While Kwinana has a higher share of people born overseas at 34.7%, both areas track close to the national figure for the share of people who speak little or no English.
