Broadwood South Kalgoorlie

South Kalgoorlie and Broadwood are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different lifestyles. Broadwood is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $3,557 compared to $2,187 in South Kalgoorlie. This wealth is reflected in the housing; almost every home in Broadwood is a separate house, and 99.1% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, South Kalgoorlie is more urban and accessible, with a somewhat walkable score and 79.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Broadwood is car-dependent. South Kalgoorlie also has a higher share of renters (35.8%) and recent overseas arrivals (16.6%).
