Currambine Joondalup

Joondalup and Currambine are neighbouring areas with very different housing and transport profiles. Joondalup is much more transient, with 47.2% of people moving in the last five years, and it has a far higher share of renters (40.7%) and people living alone (29.0%). In contrast, Currambine is dominated by larger family homes, where 90.6% are separate houses and 93.6% have three or more bedrooms. Joondalup is also far more connected, with many more public transport stops and departures, and a typical walk to the nearest stop of just 1 minute compared to 7 minutes in Currambine.

Both areas are very similar in other ways, such as the share of adults with a bachelor degree (around 24%) and the 20-minute drive time to the city. They also share an identical record for homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. While they are alike in these respects, the gap in typical weekly household income is notable, with Currambine's $2,214 being well higher than the national figure, while Joondalup's $1,688 sits around the middle for its level.
