Golden Bay Karnup

Golden Bay and Karnup are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different layouts. Golden Bay is a more connected hub where 85.7% of homes are within a 10 minute walk of public transport and the walkability score is somewhat walkable (4.9). In contrast, Karnup is mostly car-dependent (2.9) and no homes are within a 15 minute walk of a school. These areas also differ in their First Nations communities; Golden Bay has a far larger First Nations population, but Karnup has a far higher Year 12 completion rate (72.2%) and a typical personal income that is well higher at $885.

Daily life in both places is very similar in many ways. Residents in both areas share the same typical age of 30 and the same typical weekly personal income of $895. They also have almost identical shares of people born overseas and those who use a language other than English at home. While the two areas differ in their local amenities, they both have a very high share of large homes, with over 94% of households in each area having three or more bedrooms.
