Cannington Kenwick

Cannington and Kenwick are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different layouts. Cannington is a high-density hub where 57% of households rent and many live in townhouses or apartments. It is far more diverse, with 61.7% of people born overseas and 59.2% using a language other than English at home. Education levels are also far higher in Cannington, where 33.6% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Kenwick is dominated by separate houses, with 97.8% of homes being detached and 91.8% having three or more bedrooms.

Typical weekly family incomes are almost identical in both places, sitting around $1,700. While they share similar income levels, their connections differ; Cannington is very walkable with a 1-minute walk to the nearest stop, while Kenwick is more car-dependent with a 10-minute walk. This gap in accessibility is consistent with Cannington's younger population and higher number of recent overseas arrivals, who often settle in more connected, urban areas.
