Embleton Noranda

Noranda and Embleton are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different resident profiles. Noranda is a much older area, where the typical resident is 45 and 24.5% are seniors, compared to a typical age of 37 in Embleton. Home ownership differs sharply; 46.4% of Noranda homes are owned outright, while Embleton has a far higher share of rentals at 32.0%. This contrast extends to faith and mobility, with no religion being far more common in Embleton (43.2%) and the area offering far more public transport options and shorter walks to stops.

Both areas are almost identical in the share of people born overseas, which sits around 39%. This shared international background exists alongside different housing trends, as more people in Embleton have moved in the last five years (43.7%) compared to Noranda (27.3%).
