Como Karawara

Como (WA) and Karawara are neighbouring areas with very different housing and income profiles. Como (WA) has a much higher share of townhouses and apartments, with a typical weekly personal income of $1,001. In contrast, Karawara is dominated by separate houses, and its typical weekly personal income is much lower at $588. Diversity is high in both, but it is far more pronounced in Karawara, where 45.3% of people were born overseas and 35.1% use another language at home.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining close in several key measures. They are effectively alike in their share of children under 15, typical household incomes, and the proportion of people who have finished Year 12. They also share similar rates of home ownership and monthly loan payments. While Como (WA) is noticeably older and has more people living alone, both areas sit near the national figure for the percentage of residents who work from home.
