Adelaide - West Mandurah

Adelaide - West and Mandurah are far-apart areas with very different layouts and populations. Adelaide - West is very walkable and has a more diverse, highly qualified population; 28.0% of residents use a language other than English at home, and 26.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Mandurah is more car-dependent and has a higher proportion of detached houses, with 84.9% of homes being separate houses compared to 66.1% in Adelaide - West.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have generally widened. The difference in the proportion of adults with degrees and those who completed Year 12 has grown, as has the gap in the number of people working or looking for work. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain similar in some ways, such as their typical monthly home-loan payments and weekly rents, which are both close to the national figure.
