Gnangara Wangara

Gnangara and Wangara are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Gnangara is a more established residential area where 58.9% of homes are owned outright, and 33% of residents are aged 65 or over. It has a more qualified workforce, with 47.6% of adults completing Year 12 and 15% holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Wangara is sparsely populated and largely non-residential, with no residents holding a degree and 100% of homes being separate houses. It is a hub for working from home, with 35% of people doing so, and it is far more accessible, with 91.7% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining distinct in their primary uses. They share a similar percentage of people providing unpaid care and have almost identical average school advantage scores. While Gnangara is car-dependent and Wangara is somewhat walkable, both areas maintain a similar proportion of people born overseas, sitting around 30% to 33%.
