Darlington Koongamia

Darlington (WA) and Koongamia are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Darlington (WA) has a much higher typical household income of $2,388 a week, compared to $1,260 in Koongamia. This is consistent with a more highly qualified workforce in Darlington (WA), where 38.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, while just 9.2% do so in Koongamia. Darlington (WA) also has a far higher share of people born overseas (28.4%) and more people who volunteer (27.7%).

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked differently, with the gaps in income and education remaining wide. Both areas are very similar in that almost no one speaks little or no English and they have nearly the same number of public transport stops per 1,000 people. However, their local layouts differ; Koongamia is very walkable and every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park, while Darlington (WA) is mostly car-dependent.
