Kalgoorlie Karlkurla

Kalgoorlie and Karlkurla are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Kalgoorlie is a very walkable urban hub where 35.7% of people live alone and 11.6% are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Karlkurla is mostly car-dependent and more family-oriented, with 26.3% of the population being children under 15. Wealth and education are also far higher in Karlkurla, where 50.6% of households earn $3,000 or more a week and 34.4% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for children under 15, though Karlkurla is well above it. They are also very similar in their share of First Nations residents, people who use another language at home, and typical weekly rents. While Kalgoorlie has far more public transport and shops within walking distance, both areas have seen similar levels of recent overseas arrivals since 2011.
