South Australia - Outback Mandurah

Mandurah and South Australia - Outback are two very different landscapes. Mandurah is a fast-growing area where 25.9% of people were born overseas and 85.4% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, South Australia - Outback is a vast region where First Nations languages are much more common, spoken by 32% of residents. Life is also more fragmented there, with schools being much smaller on average and a far higher share of households renting at 34.5%.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people who provide unpaid care. They also share a very similar typical weekly household income of around $1,280. While they have some commonalities, their paths are diverging; the gap in the proportion of overseas-born residents has widened since 2011, and Mandurah's lead in Year 12 completion has also grown.
